Manchester United 1-0 Wolves: Player ratings as Marcus Rashford bags injury-time winner

A 93rd time winner from Marcus Rashford earned Manchester United a 1-0 win against Wolves, moving the Red Devils up to second in the Premier League.

The first half was a fairly even affair with both sides going close to opening the scoring. First, Bruno Fernandes latched onto Mason Greenwood's cross and forced a fine save out of Rui Patricio, before Wolves' Romain Saiss almost scored his second goal in as many games, only for his clever near post flick to be kept out by David de Gea.

After the break, Edinson Cavani put the ball in the back of the net from a corner, only for it to be ruled out for offside, before with just seconds left to play, United did find their winner with Rashford's effort deflecting off Saiss into the back of the net.

Here are your player ratings for both teams...

Manchester United

1. Goalkeeper & Defenders

David de Gea (GK) - 7/10 - Made a smart stop from Saiss in the first half. Recovered bravely after being winded by the super hench Adama Traore...

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (RB) - 6/10 - Defended efficiently but his attacking output was limited.

Harry Maguire (CB) - 7/10 - A few missteps but largely solid. Was tidy in possession and sprayed some great long passes.

Eric Bailly (CB) - 8/10 - One of his best games in recent memory. Read the game well, making four interceptions.

Alex Telles (LB) - 7/10 - Saw a lot of the ball in the first half and looked dangerous. It was a shame to see him dragged off at half time.

2. Midfielders

Nemanja Matic (CM) - 7/10 - Circulated possession well. Perhaps a little too safe at times, but mopped up very nicely.

Paul Pogba (CM) - 6/10 - A couple of searching balls in behind but anonymous in spells.

Bruno Fernandes (CM) - 7/10 - United's brightest spark but was uncharacteristically clumsy in possession on occasion. Assisted the winner.

3. Forwards

Greenwood has a frustrating evening / MICHAEL REGAN/Getty Images

Mason Greenwood (RW) - 6/10 - In a game short on quality his cross in the first half was a high point. Faded after that.

Edinson Cavani (ST) - 5/10 - Was pretty withdrawn for much of the game. Service was poor but he might have done more as well.

Marcus Rashford (LW) - 8/10 - Was always looking to try something, racking up a game high 10 dribbles. Winner may have been fortunate but he showed great determination to create it.

4. Substitutes

Luke Shaw - 6/10 - Slotted in well after the break but was never as threatening at Telles.

Anthony Martial - 5/10 - Spurned a good chance well over after coming on.

Scott McTominay - N/A

Wolves

5. Goalkeepers & Defenders

Patricio had a good game / Pool/Getty Images

Rui Patricio (GK) - 7/10 - Showed great reflexes to stop Bruno Fernandes opening the scoring early on. Wrong footed for United's goal.

Conor Coady (CB) - 7/10 - Survived a hand ball scare in the second half. Other than that, did fairly well.

Romain Saiss (CB) - 8/10 - Defended very well, registering 11 clearances. Was also a potent threat from set pieces. So unlucky to deflect Rashford's cross past his goalkeeper.

Max Kilman (CB) - 7/10 - Covered well when United threatened done the right.

6. Wing Backs & Midfielders

Hoever was making his first Premier League start / Matthew Ashton - AMA/Getty Images

Ki-Jana Hoever (RWB) - 7/10 - Looked impressive during his first Premier League start. Showed attacking intent and defended stoically.

Ruben Neves (CM) - 8/10 - Excellent display. Was full of running, racking up a combined nine tackles and interceptions.

Vitinha (CM) - 6/10 - Showed good energy in the first half before being dismissed just after the break.

Joao Moutinho (CM) - 7/10 - A bustling performance in midfield that had a bit of everything.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (LWB) - 6/10 - Showed great energy down the left side. Occasionally lost possession but needed more support from his teammates.

7. Forwards

Traore struggled to impose himself on the game / Matthew Ashton - AMA/Getty Images

Adama Traore (ST) - 5/10 - Struggled to make the ball stick in an unfamiliar centre-forward role, losing possession six times.

Pedro Neto (ST) - 5/10 - Also struggled to hold the ball up. Looked a lot more comfortable when he picked the ball up from deep and fired off two shots.

8. Substitutes

Daniel Podence - 6/10 - Very limited involvement after coming on.

Fabio Silva - 6/10 - As above but with crazier hair.
