Manchester United vs Wolves Review
Wolves have ensured their safety in the Premier League after Pablo Sarabia scored a remarkable free-kick, leading to a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. This win marked the first time since 1970 that the visitors achieved five consecutive wins in the top flight. Christian Eriksen, who is anticipated to leave this summer, provided a brief spark of excitement by taking the first shot on target just after the half-hour mark, forcing goalkeeper Bentley to make a save from a dipping free-kick. Kobbie Mainoo attempted a curling shot, but it never posed a threat to the Wolves goalkeeper as it sailed harmlessly past the far post.
After not seeing any improvement in the early part of the first half, Amorim decided to make three substitutions around the hour mark, bringing on Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount, and Diogo Dalot in hopes of boosting Man United’s performance. However, it was a Wolves substitute who made the crucial breakthrough in the 77th minute when Sarabia executed an unstoppable free-kick over the wall and beyond André Onana’s reach, igniting celebrations among the away fans in the corner of Old Trafford.
Mount then missed a couple of good opportunities to equalize late in the game, allowing Wolves to celebrate their first league double over the Red Devils since the 1979/80 season. This victory has lifted Vítor Pereira’s team to 15th place, tying them on points with 14th-placed Man United, who have now suffered 15 losses in a single Premier League season for the first time in their history.
