In the dying seconds of injury time, Mainoo unleashed a sensational curling strike to snatch all three points for his side, sending Old Trafford into raptures.
And what makes this achievement even more remarkable is that it comes hot on the heels of his maiden senior goal for the club, which he netted in their FA Cup victory over Newport County.
Naturally, such an extraordinary display hasn't gone unnoticed by those around him, with skipper Bruno Fernandes leading the plaudits. Speaking after the match, the Portuguese maestro couldn't contain his excitement about Mainoo's potential.
"Kobbie is a massive talent. I remember seeing him play for the under-18s a couple of seasons ago, and I knew straight away that he was destined for great things. Little did we know then how special he would turn out to be!" gushed Fernandes.
As for the man himself, Mainoo admitted that stepping onto the hallowed turf of Molineux and bagging his first Premier League goal felt surreal.
"To score my first league goal for Manchester United? Wow, it doesn't get much better than that. Honestly, I think I might still be pinching myself right now. Scoring at Wolves—a ground where many players have struggled before—made it even sweeter," he enthused.
Without question, Mainoo looks poised to follow in the footsteps of illustrious names like Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick, cementing his status as a key figure in Man United's midfield for generations to come. Watch this space!
