Highs and lows

After the highs of United's epic Europa League comeback against Lyon on Thursday, Old Trafford was brought back down to earth with yet another Premier League defeat.

A 15th league loss of the season is a club record high for United in the Premier League era. United has not lost this many games in a league season since the 1989-90 campaign, when it was defeated 16 times in England's old Division One.

According to statistician Opta, eight home defeats in the league is the most since United was beaten nine times at Old Trafford in 1962-63.

United is already certain to set the club's worst-ever points total in the Premier League.

The latest loss left Ruben Amorim's team on 38 points. United's previous lowest total was 58 in the 2021-22 season. With five rounds remaining, even a perfect finish would see United only amass 53.

"We have to score goals. We need to improve in that area of the game clearly. If you don't score goals, you don't win games," United coach Amorim said.

Wolves, meanwhile, made it five league wins in a row — setting a new club record in the Premier League.

Substitute Sarabia had only been on the field for three minutes when he curled a freekick from outside of the area into the top corner.

Wolves moved level on points with United to ensure it would avoid the drop.
