Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was coy about Manchester United’s title hopes after Marcus Rashford’s last-gasp effort against Wolves propelled them up to second in the Premier League.
A topsy-turvy year that started with supporters calling for the heads of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and the Glazer family ended with the Red Devils winning at an empty Old Trafford to move just two points behind leaders Liverpool.
United’s mentality has been key to their improvements during 2020, with Solskjaer’s men digging deep on Tuesday to seal a 1-0 win against Wolves through Rashford’s deflected late strike.
“(The young players) did well. I think they did well. Situations happen. It’s up to us to decide the right moments to play them and the answer was good.
“I think today was a game that everybody should learn from, especially the young boys. It’s nothing that they have to worry about – I think they did really, really well.
“But the game teaches that you have to be focused until the last moment. It’s a tough lesson to take but it’s a good one.”
