Manchester United fans hail pitch invader against Wolves as man of the match and tell the club to hand him a contract for helping to preserve Premier League victory

Manchester United supporters bizarrely praised a pitch invader at Old Trafford for helping Erik ten Hag's men hold on to their 1-0 lead and seal victory against Wolves.

Raphael Varane's 76th-minute header proved to the be the difference against Gary O'Neil's visitors who produced a strong showing following a disastrous pre-season.

A pulsating end to proceedings on Monday evening saw Wolves pile on the pressure in a bid to force a late equaliser but saw their momentum halted when a pitch invader ran onto the pitch.

The supporter, dressed in grey tracksuit bottoms and a black t-shirt burst out from the swathes of supporters seated in Old Trafford's East Stand and sprinted into proceedings.
