Who would have thought the most entertaining thing about a deadline day would be Manchester United winning at Wolves, eh?
It’s a funny old game, football. Stupid, daft, hilariously funny. Tonight, the pendulum of chaos swung in favour of the Red Devils, but boy did they make it hard for themselves in their 4-3 victory.
Maybe there is hope in Erik ten Hag’s project after all. It doesn’t look like his players have lost faith in him, at least.
Casemiro has missed much of the season through injury, though didn’t need long to readjust to life in the Premier League. He picked up a booking after just two minutes.
It’s taken two minutes for Casemiro to pick up a booking

Better things were in the post for United though, with Marcus Rashford giving them the lead with five minutes on the clock, putting a definitive end to a week of turmoil off the pitch.
Marcus Rashford heard all of you talking nonsense.

Midway through the first half, United scrambled in a second. Luke Shaw’s low cross was deflected on by Max Kilman through the legs of Jose Sa and off the shins of Rasmus Hojlund. It was a rather confusing goal to say the least.

A goal for Hojlund that’s been assisted by a teammate? In the Premier League???

20 – Rasmus Højlund has now both scored and assisted in each of his last two Premier League appearances – at the age of 20 years and 362 days, he is the youngest Manchester United player to achieve this, with Cristiano Ronaldo the previous youngest, aged 21 in 2007.

The partnership between Rashford and Shaw was proving tough for Wolves to deal with.
