At the end of a not very exciting match, Wolverhampton got the better of Manchester United who conceded their second consecutive defeat in the Premier League, and the third in all competitions (2-0).
The spectacle, for a long time, had not decided to amaze the spectators of this Wolverhampton-Manchester United. This meeting pitted two teams in doubt and this materialized quite well on the pitch as the opportunities to ignite were few in number. The Red Devils, with Leny Yoro in a three-way defense, had little influence, apart from a Dalot shot pushed back by Sá as the ball headed for the top corner (20th). A few minutes later, Onana was able to imitate his counterpart in the visiting goals at the cost of a beautiful save in front of the head of Larsen (26th).
Fernandes leaves his team at ten, the direct corner from Cunha
The first half therefore did not allow us to see much but the second act started at a completely different pace regarding the notable actions. First, the Red Devils were forced to play eleven against ten following the expulsion of Bruno Fernandes, warned of a second yellow card and therefore expelled for a sole on the right ankle of his opponent (47th). In the process, Ruben Amorim's players were close to the KO when; following a cross from Semedo, Larsen sent the ball into the back of the net, but this achievement was canceled after intervention by the VAR (49th).
A few minutes later, on the other hand, Matheus Cunha's direct corner goal was validated despite the presence around Onana (1-0, 58th). With his back to the wall, Ruben Amorim had to bring Christian Eriksen and Casemiro into the midfield (with the release of a transparent Manuel Ugarte), but also tried everything for everything with the integration of Antony, who replaced Yoro . Nothing woke up the amorphous Red Devils and the balance sheet of their new coach finally increased with a fifth defeat in ten games since his arrival from Sporting, and the break goal scored by Hwang on the last counter of the match (2 -0, 90th+8).
Defeated again after the slap suffered against Bournemouth at Old Trafford (0-3), Manchester United, 14th in the Premier League, will not have the easiest schedule ahead with the reception of Newcastle (Monday) then a trip which Tricky announcement at Anfield to challenge Liverpool (Sunday January 5). The Wolves are temporarily leaving the red zone while waiting for Leicester's match against the Reds, this Thursday evening at the end of Boxing Day (9 p.m.).
