Another disappointing night at Old Trafford saw Manchester United hand Wolves their third goal of the season.<\/p>\n
Joshua Zirkzee gave the Red Devils the lead with a deflected shot midway through the first half. However, Wolves equalized just before the break with an eye-catching header from Ladislav Krejci.<\/p>\n
The visitors had the upper hand throughout much of the match, with United struggling to find fluency in attack. Patrick Dorg thought he had secured victory in the closing stages, but his celebrations were cut short by the linesman’s flag.<\/p>\n
The points move the Red Devils into sixth place in the table, while Wolves remain in the table. Here are the talking points from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

The wolves lose their luck again<\/h4>\n
United’s performance in the first half was unremarkable, with Wolves controlling most of the play. However, given their bad luck this season, it was only a matter of time before the hosts took the lead, and that’s exactly what happened.<\/p>\n
Aiden Haven won the ball back nicely for the Red Devils and tried to get Zirksee through. Wolves managed to get a few bodies behind the ball, but only to see Zirkzee’s shot deflect wide and bounce into the back of the net, obscuring Jose Sa’s vision.<\/p>\n

Qureshi silences Old Trafford<\/h4>\n
Senne Lamence had proven to be the only barrier between Wolves and an equalizer at Old Trafford before the break. Hugo Bueno came close to scoring with his fluid movements, but was thwarted by the Belgian stopper.<\/p>\n
But he was powerless to prevent Ladislav Krejci from equalizing. After the hosts failed to deal with a corner kick, the Czech scored a deft goal with a brilliant header and, unsurprisingly, Wolves went into the half with the score level.<\/p>\n

Sa saves Mosquera<\/h4>\n
It looks like every point and every goal is precious to Wolves at the moment. The only problem is they can’t stop giving them.<\/p>\n
And moments before that time they almost scored one of the Premier League’s great own goals. From a long ball, Ielson Mosquera nodded back to the goalkeeper, but the ball went into the net.<\/p>\n
Luckily for him, Sa came back just in time to grab it off the line.<\/p>\n
Amorim changes are costly<\/h4>\n
After the last game against Newcastle, which was arguably the most complete performance of the season, manager Ruben Amorim strangely opted for a change of system. Having opted for a back three against the Magpies, United this time opted for the Portuguese manager’s preferred 3-4-3.<\/p>\n
And once again, a lack of fluency seemed to hamper the Red Devils throughout the entire 90 minutes. They definitely would have been punished against a better team.<\/p>\n

Red Devils are frustrated<\/h4>\n
Old Trafford erupted in jubilation as it looked like both teams would take the points. Sesco’s shot was saved by Sa, but the Portuguese simply parried it to Dorg, who fired a shot into the roof of the net.<\/p>\n
Fortunately for Wolves, an offside flag saved them and VAR agreed with the call. There is no doubt that this was another brutal defeat for the Midlands side.<\/p>\n
edwards is off the mark<\/h4>\n
In the end, Wolves earned three points. Rob Edwards finally scored his first goal as manager.<\/p>\n
There’s no getting away from that, it’s been a completely rotten season for the Wolves. But their performance at Old Trafford was undoubtedly one of their best this season.<\/p>\n
Of course, the bar isn’t too high at the moment and it will still take a miracle to maintain their place in the Premier League, but at least the team has finally given their fans something to celebrate.<\/p>\n
