English born Ghanaian midfielder Kobbie Boateng Mainoo delivered another sterling performance for Manchester United.

The 18 year old scored in the 97th minute to give Man United a 4-3 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League.

Mainoo, who recently scored his debut goal at the senior level in Man United’s 4-2 win over Newport County in the FA Cup, added to his goal tally by curling a beautiful strike into the bottom of the net after wiggling past three defenders.

The goal saved the blushes of the Red Devils who blew a two goal lead thanks to a Scott McTominay header in the 75th minute only to see Pedro Neto tie the game at 3-3 off a counter attacking move by Wolves.

His goal tops a fine run of form that has seen the youngster voted as Man United’s Player of the Month in January.

Mainoo is of Ghanaian descent and despite representing England at the juvenile level, he is eligible to play for Ghana at the senior level internationally.

The win moves Man United to seventh place in the EPL standings ahead of Sunday, February 4’s matchup against West Ham United.

West Ham ranks sixth in the league and have 36 points while United have 35 points.
