Scott McTominay restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion after Pablo Sarabia’s penalty got Wolves back in the game.
But the home side looked to have claimed a point when Max Kilman and Pedro Neto struck late on.
However, 18-year-old Mainoo provided one final twist with a brilliant solo run and shot in the latest display of his potential as a rising star.
Rashford missed United’s 4-2 FA Cup win at Newport County on Sunday after he spent two nights out in a Belfast nightclub last week.
Erik Ten Hag insisted before kick-off that it was “case closed” after the matter was dealt with internally.
Rashford was reportedly fined £650,000 - the equivalent of two weeks’ wages. But the England international made an instant impact on his return, giving the visitors a perfect start after five minutes with a fine finish from outside the box.
Rasmus Hojlund then bundled in his third goal in four Premier League games from Luke Shaw’s cross as Ten Hag’s men produced arguably their best 45 minutes of the season before half-time.
The Dutch coach has put his side’s poor form this season down to an injury crisis and the Red Devils were much improved with Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro all back in the side for the first time in months.
