Sarabia beats Onana with stunning freekick as Wolves hand Man United 15th defeat

Manchester United failed to build on the euphoria from their Europa League triumph against Lyon, returning to dreary form in the Premier League with a 1-0 defeat to Wolves.

The Red Devils failed to break Wolves down for the entirety of the context. Their first shot on target of the day, the Wanderers, thanks to a Pablo Sarabia strike, stunned Manchester United to send a packed Molineux rocking.

The first half was lackluster, with both teams struggling to create clear chances. Christian Eriksen provided a brief spark with a dipping free-kick that Jose Sa tipped over, while Kobbie Mainoo's curling effort flew harmlessly wide.

Amorim introduced Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount, and Diogo Dalot at the hour mark, hoping to inject some energy into the team. He initially rested the trio following their midweek fixture against Lyon, which needed extra time. Youngsters Harry Amass and Tyler Fedricson earned starts. 

However, it was Wolves who scored the decisive goal, with Sarabia curling a stunning free-kick past Andre Onana in the 77th minute, their first shot on target on the encounter. 

Mount had opportunities to equalise late on, but ultimately, Wolves held on for the win. The defeat marked the Red Devils 15th of the season, which brought them level on points with Wolves, currently 15th on the log. 

While relegation is improbable due to Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton's struggles, Ruben Amorim's tenure will still be marked by a historic low if Manchester United fails to improve, considering last season's 8th-place finish under Erik ten Hag was already the club's worst outcome.
