THERE was no ‘dentist’s chair’ celebration from striker Marcus Rashford.

An amazing night saw Rashford open the scoring after just five minutes and then teen star Kobbie Mainoo clinched a dramatic winner after a seven-goal thriller.

However, his tactics to shut down the visitors did not appear to be very smart as Rashford scored the game’s first goal, leading Ten Hag’s squad to their most spectacular victory of the year against Wolves.

Ten Hag, who considers himself to be a strict disciplinarian, made a daring decision by bringing Rashford back into the starting lineup following his absence from Sunday’s FA Cup victory at Newport.

But considering that Rashford had scored twice as many goals this season in his previous two league games, it made sense. The United supporters’ patience had been running thin, so it was a big night for both the manager and the player.

Rashford had been benched here last season, after missing an alarm call and a team meeting, but Ten Hag hauled his England forward off the naughty step at half-time and saw him score the winner.

United’s opener was a gem of a team goal, a square ball from Diogo Dalot, dummied by Bruno Fernandes before Hojlund held off his marker and laid off for Rashford to lash it into the bottom corner.

The England man had barely touched the ball before that but it was an emphatic and assured finish, especially given the background noise.

Wolves then pinned United back for a period without seriously troubling Onana but midway through the second half it was 2-0.

This time Rashford weighted a pass down the left for the overlapping Luke Shaw, whose driven centre deflected off Max Kilman before Hojlund dived in front of Craig Dawson to poke over the line.

Casemiro headed narrowly wide from a Fernandes free-kick, Hojlund charged down an attempted Jose Sa clearance and almost diverted it into the goal and then Fernandes steered a shot narrowly wide.

United were enjoying a purple patch, the like of which they have managed frequently this season without sustaining it for 90 minutes.

The visitors found the net twice more before half-time — but both were ruled out for offside.

First, Hojlund beat Sa from a Rashford pass, then Casemiro headed in from a Fernandes free-kick.

It was as dominant a 45 minutes United had enjoyed all season.

In the second half, Alejandro Garnacho fed Hojlund, only for Sa to charge down his shot.

Wolves were briefly back in it when Casemiro’s boot brushed against Pedro Neto, who went down.

Ref Jarred Gillett pointed to the spot, VAR Paul Tierney refused to overrule him and Pablo Sarabia drilled home.

Rashford then made way for Antony before United restored their two-goal lead, sub McTominay applying a header to a Fernandes corner.

And it looked like United had undone all their good work when Neto fired home a leveller in injury time.

But Mainoo kept his cool and danced through to curl in the winner for his first-ever Prem goal.

And with the possible exception of Mason Mount, here was the Dutchman’s preferred line-up and here was a very different United, as a Wolves side unbeaten in seven matches were skewered.

United are still only seventh, and eight points off the Champions League places, but a continuation of this form might just convince Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co to stick with their manager.
