At the end of the suspense, Manchester United scored a precious success against Wolverhampton (1-0) thanks to Marcus Rashford and provisionally returned to two points from the leader Liverpool on Tuesday during the 16th day of the English Championship.

The Red Devils had to wait until the 93rd minute to blow the lock against Wolverhampton, thanks to a strike from Marcus Rashford, deflected at the bottom by the unfortunate defender Romain Saïss, excellent until then.

They laboriously pocket three points which allow them to return to only two units of Liverpool, traveling to Newcastle (15th) on Wednesday, and will still be one game behind the leader after this 16th day.

Faced with Wolves grouped together but able to shoot against with formidable precision, the Mancunians have yet struggled to put pace, for their tenth game in a month.

16th home team before the meeting, Manchester was even scared, the fault of a passivity on the set pieces of Wolverhampton, who almost benefited twice the Moroccan Romain Saïss (23rd and 39th).

The playing master of the Red Devils Bruno Fernandes had the opportunity to open the scoring but his volley was stopped by his compatriot, the Portuguese goalkeeper of Wolverhampton Rui Patricio (39th).

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's players ended up waking up after the hour mark, taking advantage of a drop in pressing at their opponents in the evening.

Cavani thought he had found the flaw by scoring a fox goal from the surfaces, signaled offside (70th).

The inspiration failed the teammates of a borrowed Paul Pogba, until the third minute of added time when Marcus Rashford managed to deliver his own.

Earlier Tuesday, Arsenal chained a second consecutive victory against Brighton (1-0) synonymous with a bowl of oxygen, while the Leeds of Marcelo Bielsa crushed West Bromwich (5-0).
