Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes his side are recreating the old habit of winning games late following Marcus Rashford’s extra-time winner against Wolves in a Premier League tie on Tuesday.
“It’s one of the points we brought up early in the season, that we didn’t win many points towards the end of games,” the Norwegian said after the team’s 1-0 win over Nuno Espirito Santo’s men that catapulted them to second and within two points of leaders Liverpool.
“We have a tradition for it at this club. Obviously we’ve normally got many more supporters helping us to do that.
“Now we’ve won many more points towards the end of games and that’s both a mental aspect and a physical aspect.”
United laboured for long spells against a youthful Wolves side despite having a day’s extra rest than the visitors, who were in action just 48 hours previously against Tottenham.
But Solskjaer described snatching victory from an uninspired performance as a “big step forward” as United beat Wolves for the first time in five meetings between the sides since Nuno Espirito Santo’s men returned to the top flight two-and-a-half-years ago.
“We didn’t perform as well as we want to do but we win a game against a very difficult side to play against,” added Solskjaer.
“We’ve struggled against them, this is the first win in the league. We’ve played them seven times (over the past three seasons) and there has never been many goals in the games.
“This is a big step forward that you don’t perform, but you still win.”
