Highlights https://bit.ly/3yxB5JC
Anthony Elanga and Alex Telles superb
Man Utd beat Wolves 2-1 at Molineux to secure an unbeaten Premier League season
away from home.
Dean Henderson - 7
Had very little to do and was unfortunate with the goal. Can take credit for
organising the defence well and was calm in possession when the ball came to
him.
Brandon Williams - 7
A couple of sloppy touches early on but he really settled into the game and
relished the battle defensively. Unlucky not to score with late chance in the
first half.
Eric Bailly - 7
Best performance since signing his new contract. Wolves didn't have much of a
physical presence in attack but Bailly was solid as the pressure mounted.
Axel Tuanzebe - 7
Lost Fabio Silva for Wolves' equaliser, with the forward finding space to run
down the channel. Other than that another solid performance and in the frame
for a start on Wednesday.
Alex Telles - 8
Arguably his best performance since his debut in Paris. Sent in one really good
early ball for Elanga, involved in the goal and defended very well, aside from
one rash moment against Traore.
Nemanja Matic - 7
Showed his experience with a calm performance in midfield. Not particularly
eye-catching but dropped in to defence when required and shielded the back four
well.
Donny van de Beek - 8
His best performance for a long time and a sign he has what it takes to play
the deep midfield role. Used the ball very well, got forward when the
opportunity allowed and defensively sound as well.
Amad - 6
Given a difficult shift at centre forward, with Wolves' three central defenders
towering over him, but showed the odd moment of bright footwork and worked
hard.
Juan Mata - 7
A game that will be remembered for his decisive penalty but struggled to
influence proceedings much beyond that. United didn't see a lot of the ball in
attacking areas.
Daniel James - 6
Put in a tremendous cross from which Elanga opened the scoring but lost his way
a little after that. Really should have scored early in the second half but the
finish was forgettable.
Anthony Elanga - 8
Had three chances in the first 15 minutes and took the third of them superbly.
A statement performance on his second start for the club and while United saw
less of the ball as the match went on, he continued to offer an outlet.
Subs

No time to make an impact
Shola Shoretire - N/A

Manager - 8
Took a risk with the chances but cajoled his team throughout the second half
from the touchline and has overseen a brilliant away record.
