Manchester United’s dismal run in the Premier League dragged on as they suffered their 15th defeat of the season, falling 1-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The decisive moment came late in the game when Pablo Sarabia stepped up to deliver a brilliant free kick that sealed the win for the visitors.
Following their thrilling 5-4 Europa League triumph over Olympique Lyonnais on Thursday, a dip in intensity was perhaps expected.
Still, fans were left frustrated by a lackluster first-half showing that produced just a single shot on target from the home side.
The Red Devils showed more attacking intent after the introduction of Bruno Fernandes in the second half, but they couldn’t capitalize on their improved play.
Sarabia made them pay with a curling set-piece that found the top corner with 13 minutes remaining.
Mason Mount had two clear-cut chances to snatch a draw but failed to convert either, compounding United’s woes.
The defeat leaves Ruben Amorim’s men languishing in 14th place, now sitting level on points with Wolves, who trail just behind them in the table.
