Huge win for Wolves & more despair for Man U

Misfiring Man Utd record worst league result in over 40 years against Wolves

The Red Devils hadn’t come away empty-handed at home against their opponent since 1980 Manchester United lost to Wolves at Old Tra ord for the first time since 1980 on Monday, with the 10 defeat snapping an unbeaten streak of more than 40 years against the opponent. Their five-game unbeaten streak under new manager Ralf Rangnick also came to a close with the result. The Red Devils continue to struggle for control against teams lower in the table; just last week they drew 11 against Newcastle and were branded “a bunch of whingebags” by Gary Neville for their effort.

WHAT HAPPENED AGAINST WOLVES?

Wolves came out unafraid to push up the pitch, recording 15 shots in the first 45 minutes - the most on Opta record from a visiting team in a irst half at Old Tra ord. They were finally rewarded for their positive play in the 82nd minute when Joao Moutinho struck a winner from outside the box. He’s now the oldest visiting player to score a winning goal at Old Tra ord in Premier League history. Wolves finished with 19 shots compared to nine for Manchester United.
