Thirteenth in the Premier League table before the kick-off of their match against Wolverhampton, Manchester United faced a relegated team. Enough to allow him to recover after the slap received at Old Trafford against Bournemouth (0-3)? For this meeting, Ruben Amorim had in any case chosen to do without the services of Marcus Rashford for the fourth consecutive time. On the other hand, good news for Leny Yoro who started for the second time this season with the Red Devils.
Nothing special to report during the first 45 minutes. But upon returning from the locker room, MU will suffer two blows of fate. Just 90 seconds after the start of the second period, Bruno Fernandes received a second yellow card, synonymous with expulsion. Reduced to ten, the Red Devils then conceded a corner from Matheus Cunha and did not return to the match. Worse, they even conceded a second goal by Hwang Hee-chan, on a counter led by Cunha at the very end of the match. Beaten 2-0, MU suffered a second consecutive defeat in the Premier League and fell to 14th place in the standings. For their part, the Wolves signed a second victory in a row and temporarily left the red zone.
