Manchester United’s poor season got worse on Sunday as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, setting a new club record with 15 Premier League losses in a single campaign.
Pablo Sarabia’s sublime 77th-minute free-kick sealed victory for Wolves at Old Trafford, completing their first league double over United since 1980 and condemning Erik ten Hag’s side to yet another setback.
United manager, Ruben Amorim made several changes from Thursday’s Europa clash, giving Tyler Fredricson and Harry Amass rare starts.
Vitor Pereira, meanwhile, rotated for the first time in six games but still saw his side rise to the occasion.
Chances were few in a subdued first half. Christian Eriksen forced a save from Jose Sa, while Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund came close but failed to convert.
United pushed for an equalizer, with Bruno Fernandes missing their best late opportunity, but the comeback never came.
To add to the gloom, protests erupted among fans in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand over rising ticket prices and relocation plans.
