Man Utd 0-1 Wolves: United slump to woeful defeat days after Europa League triumph
Ruben Amorim's side return to Premier League action.
After a dazzling night in Europe against Lyon, Manchester United were brought crashing back down to earth after suffering another Premier League defeat to Wolves.
Ruben Amorim’s side fell to their 15th league defeat of the season after Pablo Sarabia’s superb free kick after 77 minutes.
United created opportunities for themselves with 18-year-old Harry Amass turning in an impressive performance at left wing-back.
But the hosts again showed a woeful lack of cutting edge up front with Rasmus Hojlund enduring another afternoon to forget with Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount also missing big chances off the bench.
With a Europa League semi-final against Athletic Club looming, Amorim suggested ahead of Sunday he will turn to the club’s youngsters to manage the final run of games in the Premier League.
