Mata, who was played through by Anthony Martial, calmly chipped goalkeeper John Ruddy for the only goal against Wolves. The first match at the Molineux Stadium between the teams had ended goalless.
United’s celebrations were muted as there was an injury to its top-scorer Marcus Rashford, who came on as a second half substitute for Daniel James and played only 16 minutes before limping off injured. “That backfired, but you’ve got to go for them once in a while,” manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told BT Sport.
The injury left the England striker a doubt for Sunday’s Premier League clash against runaway leader Liverpool at Anfield. “It seems like he’s got a knock there and he couldn’t run, so let’s test him in the next couple of days. Hopefully, he’ll be OK for Sunday, I don’t know,” said Solskjaer.
Cardiff City beat fourth-tier struggler Carlisle United 4-3 to set up an all-Championship (second-tier) clash.
