Ten Hag's Red Devils Triumph! Hojlund's Heroics Sink Wolves

Manchester United are back in the win column after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag's men were looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Tottenham, and they did just that thanks to a late goal from Rasmus Højlund, the Danish striker who's already proving to be a real game-changer.

The game was a tight affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the back of the net in the first half. It felt like one of those games that could easily go either way.

It wasn't until the 52nd minute that the deadlock was broken when Antony finally found the net with a well-taken finish. The Brazilian winger, known for his fancy footwork, had been causing trouble all game, and his goal was a deserved reward for his efforts. But just as Man Utd looked like they were going to cruise to victory, Wolverhampton fought back, equalizing in the 73rd minute through a controversial penalty, which was awarded after a handball by Raphael Varane.

It seemed like the game was destined for a draw, but Ten Hag's side had other ideas. With just six minutes left on the clock, the game's hero, Rasmus Højlund, came to the rescue. The newly signed striker, who joined from Atalanta, made a fantastic run into the box and headed home a cross from Bruno Fernandes. It was a goal that typified Højlund's impressive physicality and clinical finishing.

This win will give Ten Hag's team a huge boost of confidence ahead of their upcoming Premier League fixtures, but the real test for the Red Devils will be their performance against teams at the top of the table. But for now, they can celebrate this victory, and they can thank Rasmus Højlund for giving them the three points.
