English striker Marcus Rashford, who left for the first time on the bench for disciplinary reasons, gave Manchester United victory at Wolverhampton (1-0), Saturday, during the eighteenth day of the English Championship.

This victory allows the Mancunians to overtake Tottenham in fourth place by two points.

Without explaining the reasons for the penalty, Manchester United coach Eric ten Hag indicated on BT Sport, a few minutes before kick-off, that Rashford had not respected the club’s internal rules.

The England striker, who had to leave his position as a left winger for Alejandro Garnacho, entered at half-time and made the difference himself by sneaking into the penalty area and hitting Jose Sa (76, 0-1).

Oddly enough, his goal was almost identical to the one scored by the young Argentine when he gave victory to his team before the World Cup against Fulham (2-1, November 13).

Garnacho was less successful at Stade Molineux, missing Manchester United’s first big chance, soloing ahead of José Sa (17), during the first half as the Mancunians struggled against a team in a relegation position.

Apart from the shot of veteran Diego Costa (25), which was substituted at the break, and a free kick from Nevis (58th), the Wolves, who began to slowly find new directions with Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui, who arrived at the beginning of November, rarely They threatened De Gea.

They had to wait until the last moments to get the Mancunian goalkeeper to work, in particular with a header from Raul Jimenez (90 + 4).
