Teenage sensation Kobbie Mainoo rescued Manchester United from a disastrous result after scoring the winner deep in second half stoppage time.

It appeared as if the Red Devils had squandered a two-goal lead when Wolves winger Pedro Neto netted in the 95th minute to level the scores at 3-3.

However, 18-year-old Mainoo popped up just two minutes later with a stunning curling effort from the edge of the box that sparked delirium among the away fans at Molineux.

The Red Devils opened the scoring in the 5th minute through Marcus Rashford before Rasmus Hojlund doubled the advantage after getting on the end of a Luke Shaw cross.

Pablo Sarabia halved the deficit with a penalty for Wolves in the 71st minute, but Scott McTominay restored United’s two-goal advantage not long after.

Wolves threatened late chaos when Max Kilman scored in the 85th minute and the hosts continued to push for an equaliser.

And it came midway through second half stoppage time courtesy of Neto.

United made the puzzling call to throw numbers up the field despite holding a lead and it backfired, as Wolves broke rapidly on the counter attack.

The ball was quickly worked out to Neto on the right wing who managed to free up space from United defender Raphael Varane and fire home past Andre Onana.

It felt like the Red Devils had dropped two points at that moment as Neto soaked up the celebrations.

However, the joyous scenes among Wolves fans were cut short as Mainoo provided one final dagger to the hearts with his late strike.

Over in London, West Ham United played out a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth as Kalvin Phillips had a debut to forget for the Hammers.

Phillips, who joined West Ham on loan from Manchester City, gifted Bournemouth their goal when he attempted to pass the ball back to Hammers goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.

However, the $83 million star didn’t realise Cherries striker Dominic Solanke was lurking in the box as the latter pounced and scored with a first time finish.

The Hammers would get their equaliser via a James Ward-Prowse penalty in the 61st minute.
