Marcus Rashford has revealed he was left out of Erik ten Hag's Manchester United starting line-up against Wolves after oversleeping and arriving late to a team meeting.
The Dutchman left Rashford on the bench for the trip to Molineux, despite the 25-year-old scoring two goals in two games after returning from the World Cup.
He was introduced as a half-time substitute, however, and went on to score the winning goal, before having a second ruled out for handball after a VAR review.
Speaking to BT Sport after full-time, he said: "I was a little bit late for a meeting - I overslept.
"It's the team rules and it's a mistake that can happen, but I'm disappointed not to play, but I understand the decision and I'm happy that we managed to win the game anyway.
"I think we can draw a line under it and move on.
"I'm in a good place and I'm just pleased with the way that we're progressing. In the past, we could easily have lost that game or drawn it."
