Juan Mata scored one and set up another as Manchester United came from behind to beat a stubborn Wolfsburg side 2-1 in the Champions League at Old Trafford.
A celebratory night at the Theatre of Dreams, which saw the hosts end a year-long absence from Europe's elite club competition, started off on a sour note as Daniel Caligiuri fired the visitors into a shock fourth-minute lead.
United spurned two glorious chances to level the game before Mata eventually did so, converting a penalty on 34 minutes after his cross was handled in the area by Caligiuri.
The Spaniard then turned provider, exquisitely chipping the ball over the Wolfsburg defence for Chris Smalling to convert with a cute finish eight minutes after the interval.
Louis van Gaal's men then weathered a storm from the Bundesliga side as they pushed for what would have been a deserved equaliser.
The withdrawal of Schweinsteiger in the losing stages saw United lose their ability to control the game as Wolfsburg mounted a sustained assault on the United goal.
But United stood firm to claim their first Champions League victory this season - one that leaves Group B delicately poised after two games with all four sides level on three points.
