Wolves 2-1 Manchester United: United player ratings | Premier League 2018-19

Wolverhampton Wanderers hosted Manchester United at Molineux Stadium on 2nd April 2019. It was the first away match in charge of the coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær after appointed as the permanent manager of the club. It was a crucial fixture for them to keep up the pace to finish in top 4 spots in the league and book a place in the Champions League, next year.

On the contrary, Wolves has emerged out as the giant killers in the league as they have defeated the top clubs like Chelsea and Tottenham. In the previous fixture with the Reds, Wolves were able to hold them for a draw with a 1-1 scoreline at Old Trafford.

So, it was expected to be a tough away fixture for twenty-time league champions. Scott McTominay's first goal for the club opened the scoring of the match with a goal in the thirteenth minute of the match. United squandered the one goal league in the first half as Diogo Jota scored in the twenty-fifth minute. The Reds looked to score a winner in the second half but, an own goal by Chris Smalling dashed their hopes.
