Manchester United were labelled "appalling" by Arsenal legend Lee Dixon following their first-half performance against Wolves on Tuesday. United were aiming to return to winning ways following the 2-2 draw at Leicester City on Boxing Day. But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were again frustrated in their search for three points before Marcus Rashford's deflected strike in stoppage time secured a valuable 1-0 win.

United have had a strong 2020, with only Liverpool and Manchester City recording more Premier League points than them in the calendar year.
Manager Solskjaer believes the impact of the coronavirus on everyday scenarios for his players has had its positives and has helped improve the "consistency in their good habits".
“It’s been different and difficult, but then again that’s life for everyone now," Solskjaer told manutd.com.
"We’ve been able to work and meet each other and play football, yes under different circumstances and in different environments, but we’ve been able to do what we love the most.
"We’ve been quite lucky in that respect - we’ve seen people all time.
"We’ve tried to make the most of it, I think the players have done really well and been really focused and professional.
"It's maybe brought everyone down to the basics again for a while – washing their own clothes, no dressing rooms, no lunch, bringing a packed lunch, and in one way I think that has challenged every player to look at themselves and say ‘do I do the right things?’
"I think our group is getting to a good level of consistency in their good habits.”
