18-year old kid saves United in the 97th minute

He was on a drinking spree for 12 hours in Belfast. He called in sick the other day but his nightlife was revealed. He was crucified by the British press, his teammates were angry with him and former Manchester United captain Roy Keane said that his behaviour is “that of an idiot“. Coach Erik ten Hag said that the issue will be delt with internally, and considering his history of dealing in such situation, everybody expected that Marcus Rashford will be fined and will spend some time on the bench. And yet, he was in the starting lineup for Manchester United against Wolverhampton and scored after only three minutes of the game, helping his teammates to a thrilling 4-3 victory in the Premier League. But in the end, he was not the main protagonist of the game. It was in fact young 18-year old Kobbie Mainoo, whose 97th minute stunner gave United the victory. The Red Devils played the best first half in the whole season, scored two quick goals and were denied three more due to offsides, and then allowed the Wolves to spectacularly come back and level the game 3-3 in the 95th minute. And then young Mainoo stepped in, took the ball from 25 meters away, managed to find some space and then shot the ball to the bottom left corner for the win. Sir Alex Ferguson came to Wolverhampton to watch the match and was smiling after this fantastic goal, but in reality, United allowed the guests to come back after 3-1, Antony‘s wasteful movements led to the third goal and Ten Hag‘s defensive substitutions at the end nearly costed United.
