Overview

  • Wolves completed a historic league double over Manchester United, their first since 1979-80, and secured a fifth consecutive top-flight win for the first time in 55 years.
  • Pablo Sarabia's 77th-minute free kick was the only goal of the match, as United managed just one shot on target in another lackluster performance.
  • The loss leaves Manchester United 14th in the Premier League with 15 defeats, their worst league record since the 1989-90 season, though they remain safe from relegation.
  • Ruben Amorim rotated his squad heavily following the Europa League win over Lyon, handing debuts to Tyler Fredricson, Harry Amass, and Chido Obi-Martin, but the team lacked cohesion and finishing quality.
  • Fan protests against co-owner Jim Ratcliffe's proposed Old Trafford seating changes added to the tense atmosphere, while Amorim acknowledged the team's broader struggles, particularly in scoring goals.
