Manchester United wrapped the 2020-21 season as the runner-ups with a triumph at Wolves.
4500 Wolves fans were at Molineux to bid farewell to Nuno, two days after the unexpected declaration this would be his last game for the club.
However, United ruined the farewell to some degree as they got a win that guarantees they have gone a full League season without losing an away game without affecting their points.

🌟 Anthony Elanga with the finish 💥#MUFC | #WOLMUN— Manchester United (@ManUtd) May 23, 2021
Anthony Elanga opened the scoring when he started just his second Premier League start with a well-taken goal, driving home a header inside the initial 15 minutes. Wolves reacted well, balancing five minutes before the break when Nelson Semedo scored his first goal for the club by clearing in from Fabio Silva’s teasing ball.
Be that as it may, United, who were at that point guaranteed the second spot before the game, recovered the lead on the stroke of half-time. Donny van de Beek was caught on the rear of his foot by Romain Saiss and after official Mike Dean at first, ruled against granting a penalty, he turned around his choice after a VAR survey.
That left the home fans annoyed, with roaring boos welcoming the half-time whistle.
In any case, they needed quality in the last third – something that has tormented them the entire season, as a result of injuries to vital players.
Man United completed the match with three academy players. Shola Shoretire, Hannibal, and Will Fish on the pitch, with the last two making their Premier League debuts.
What a wonderful goal for the Young lad!
