Manchester United claimed a vital victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium on Sunday. The Red Devils secured a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Anthony Martial and youngster Alejandro Garnacho.
- Martial and Garnacho lead Manchester United to victory
Manchester United got off to a strong start with Martial scoring in the 45th minute. The French forward received a pass from Marcus Rashford, cut inside and unleashed a powerful shot that beat Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio. The goal gave Manchester United a much-needed boost going into halftime.
In the second half, it was the turn of 19-year-old Garnacho to shine. The young Spaniard, making his Premier League debut, scored in the 80th minute to secure the victory for Manchester United. Garnacho’s goal was a stunning curling effort from outside the box that left Patricio with no chance.
- Manchester United remain fourth in Premier League standings
The win was crucial for Manchester United, as it helped them maintain their fourth-place position in the Premier League standings. With just two games left to play, the Red Devils are in a strong position to secure Champions League football for next season.
Manchester United will face their biggest challenge of the season next week, when they take on arch-rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford. A win in that game would all but secure their top-four finish.
- Key moments from the match
Aside from the two goals, there were several other key moments in the match. Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea made a crucial save in the 58th minute, diving low to his left to keep out a shot from Wolves striker Fabio Silva.
Later in the second half, Wolves had a goal ruled out for offside, much to the frustration of their fans. Manchester United had their own goal disallowed moments later, after VAR ruled that the ball had gone out of play in the build-up.
In the end, it was Manchester United who came out on top, thanks to the clinical finishing of Martial and Garnacho. The win will give them confidence going into their final two games of the season and the crucial clash against Liverpool.
