With the end of the Europa League before him Villarreal in sight (next Wednesday) and knowing in advance that regardless of the result in the Molineux Stadium I would close this Premier League in second place, Manchester United visited the Wolverhampton with an ‘eleven’ plagued by the least common, but he won. Ole Gunner Solskjaer gave entry into the starting team to young people like the Van de Beek, Tuanzebe, Elanga, Juan Mata and company, and the last two were the authors of the goals so that the ‘red devils’ won 1-2 against those of Nuno Espirito Santo. The local goal was from the exazulgrana Nélson Semedo.
It was a more emotional match (for different reasons) than competitive, but it was not boring for that. In fact, it was not necessary to wait a quarter of an hour for the first goal to be seen. It was the work of the Swede Anthony Elanga, harvest of 2002, which hunted in the heart of the area a center of Daniel james from the left to connect a powerful direct header to the net.
With that goal the United, but Wolves he knew how to recover to tie in 39 ', as after a ride on the right wing Nélson Semedo entered the area to hunt down an assist of Fábio Silva before crossing his shot and overtaking Dean henderson.
It seemed then that the break would be reached with a tie on the scoreboard, but in the addition of the first act Saïss knocked down Van de beek inside the area and Juan Mata was in charge of marking from eleven meters. The Asturian ends his contract on June 30 and it is still not clear whether he will renew or his stage as 'Red Devil' will end with 33 springs and after six and a half years in Old trafford.
After the resumption, the game lost rhythm and the prominence was taken by the stands, dedicating chants to the local coach, Nuno Espirito Santo, that after four seasons in the ‘wolves’ he experienced his last howl. Its next destination is unknown, having speculated on the possibility that it will reach the Tottenham to cover the gap left by the departure of his compatriot Jose Mourinho.
