MU 0-0 Wolves: Mainoo's shot goes wide of the post.

On the evening of April 20th, coach Amorim fielded a team with five players aged 20 or under in the match against Wolves in the 33rd round of the Premier League.

The match at Old Trafford proceeded at a rather slow pace. It wasn't until the 11th minute that fans witnessed a noteworthy moment. Following a one-two pass from Hojlund, Mainoo penetrated the penalty area but was fouled by a Wolves defender. The referee hesitated for a moment before deciding not to blow the whistle.

The home team's first shot on target came from a corner kick. In the 30th minute, Eriksen delivered a tricky cross, forcing goalkeeper Jose Sa to push the ball away to avert the danger.

In the 34th minute, Eriksen continued to threaten the visitors' goal with a free kick that curled quite a bit. However, Sa was still the winner.

MU played proactively at home.

The first half ended goalless. Both Manchester United and Wolves played without much determination, as neither team had any remaining goals to strive for in the Premier League. At the same time, Ipswich were trailing Arsenal 2-0. This meant Wolves were almost certainly safe from relegation.

As announced after the win against Lyon, MU will use a squad of reserve or young players for the remainder of the 2024/25 Premier League season.

Tyler Fredricson, a young defender born in 2005, made his Premier League debut. The U18 player partnered with Mazraoui and Lindelof in a three-man defense in front of Onana's goal.

On the left flank, left-back Harry Amass made his second Premier League start of his career. Up front, Kobbie Mainoo made his first start since February 2nd.

The physical and mental challenge following their comeback victory against Lyon in the Europa League will be a significant one for Ruben Amorim's team as they host Wolverhampton at Old Trafford.

With their current Premier League position offering little hope, the Europa League may be United's only way to salvage the season. However, their record of losing only 1 of their last 13 home matches against Wolves (9 wins, 3 draws) gives fans confidence that the "Red Devils" still have what it takes to secure all three points.

On the opposite side, Wolves are enjoying their best form in over 50 years in the English top flight with a run of four consecutive wins. If they secure three more points at Old Trafford, and Ipswich lose to Arsenal this weekend, they will officially secure their survival in the Premier League. Under manager Vítor Pereira, Wolves have undergone a dramatic transformation, going from being 13 points behind Man United to having a chance to catch up if they beat them again, something they did on Boxing Day last year.
