Wolverhampton-Manchester United 3-4: crazy game at Molineux with two goals in added time. Mainoo decides in the 97th minute

Kobbie Mainoo, an eighteen-year-old product of Manchester United’s youth system, scores one of the heaviest goals of the Red Devils’ season. The precise right-footed shot into the corner after a series of dribbles on the edge of the area gave United three golden points in the 97th minute. Ten Hag’s team managed to beat Wolverhampton 4-3, after having dominated unchallenged for a good hour of play and having suffered terribly in the final. A story already seen this season of Manchester United, capable of suddenly getting lost, like Alan Parrish in Jumanji, and then finding themselves again within a couple of turns of the clock. This United is an emotional team, always on the edge of tension, between losing everything in a few minutes and having yet another adrenaline rush to continue a bizarre season which now sees them struggling to reach Europe. This time too, in the crazy match at Molineux, the Red Devils lost their way and literally lost themselves in a minute of injury time. In fact, a lot passes between the 3-3 goal scored by Pedro Neto in the 96th minute and Mainoo’s goal that decides the match in the 97th minute. With its inconceivable ability to squander advantages, United were about to throw away a match they had practically won, headed on the right side since an absolutely dominated first half. Rashford scores immediately, silencing the criticism he received during the week after just 5 minutes, Hojlund scores the third consecutive goal in the championship and cup and in 20 minutes ten Hag finds himself two goals ahead. United press, Wolloves are dazed. Two goals disallowed for the Red Devils portend a goleada second half, and in fact that is what happens but not as the Dutch coach would have hoped. Sarabia’s penalty closes the gap, which is immediately re-established by McTominay as soon as he comes on. At 3-1 it seems done but instead it isn’t. We need many more minutes of suffering and the first goal in the Premier League from a player who, despite his 18 years, holds the field wonderfully and, it seems, is already managing to be decisive.
