At 1:30 a.m. Beijing time on January 4, a match in the 21st round of the Premier League began to compete, and Manchester United faced Wolves at home. In the 6th minute of the game, Manchester United launched a quick counter-attack, Sancho advanced with the ball, to the top of the arc of the penalty area, he did not choose to pass to the empty teammates, but instead came to a long-range shot of his own, which was blocked by the defender in front of him. The ball came to Sancho, who wanted to pass the ball this time, but did not kick the strength and kicked the ball directly to the opponent. After United's shot, the Wolves pressed down, Wolves continued to create a threat, Bourdains' shot was saved by De Gea, Neves's long-range shot was also deflected by De Gea, and Semedo's explosive shot from the right side of the box was once again saved by De Gea. De Gea was a bit busy.
United have fewer chances and the quality of their shots is poor. Wan-Bissaka sent a beautiful cross in the 28th minute, but unfortunately C Ronaldo at the back post jumped not high enough to miss the opportunity to top the empty goal. Cavani's long-range shot was high just before half-time. Neither side broke the deadlock at the end of the half. United had 47 per cent possession in the first half, with only a pitiful 4 shots on goal, 1 on target, and failed to score. Wolves, on the other hand, fired 14 wild shots in the first half, four of which were on target, only to be defused by De Gea. It was a shame that United played such a half-time stat at home against Wolves.
After the start of the second half, United did not have much improvement, and the opportunities were few. It wasn't until the 60th minute that Lonnick decided to make a substitution adjustment, replacing Greenwood with Bruno Fernandez. This substitution adjustment adds firepower to United's attacking end. Bruno Fernandes, who had just played, had a very good chance when he wrapped up his shot near the penalty spot and the ball hit the frame of the goal and popped up, which was a pity. After that, Bruno Fernandez's cross accurately found Ronaldo, who pushed the ball in, but unfortunately it was offside.
Wolves also had a very good chance, and Seth's direct free-kick in the 74th minute was also blocked by the goal frame. The turning point of the game came in the 82nd minute, when Moutinho volleyed the ball off the bottom left corner of the goal after unloading the ball from outside the penalty area! The angle was too sharp, and this time De Gea was helpless and failed to save the ball. Wolves players celebrate wildly. United are in a desperate situation and there is too little time left for United at this time. United had hopes of equalising in the last minute, but Bruno Fernandez's very high-quality free-kick was saved by the goalkeeper. The final score was fixed at 0-1, and Manchester United lost to Wolves, breaking a big upset. Unexpectedly, the 35-year-old veteran Moutinho single-handedly destroyed Manchester United. And Ronaldo only had 2 shots on goal in this game, and he was dumbfounded.
Ronnick set 3 major shame records. First, it was United's first home defeat to Wolves in the Premier League. Secondly, this is also the second time that Manchester United has lost at home to Wolves in 42 years. Finally, for the first time since the 2001/02 season, United have lost six of their first 19 premier league games. Wolves' 19 shots on goal and 6 shots on target in this game are both new highs for Wolves in the Premier League away league this season, which shows how badly United's defense is doing.
