The match at Old Trafford started at a rather slow pace. It was not until the 11th minute that the fans witnessed a remarkable move. After Hojlund's wall, Mainoo entered the penalty area but was pushed down 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 made a difficult cross, forcing goalkeeper Jose Sa to push the ball away to clear the danger.
In the 34th minute, Eriksen continued to threaten the visitors' goal with a curling free kick. However, Sa was still the winner.
MU plays proactively at home. |
The first half ended without any goals. MU and Wolves did not play with much determination, because both teams no longer have any goals to strive for in the Premier League. At the same time, Ipswich were leading 2-0 against Arsenal. This meant that Wolves were almost certain to stay in the league.
At the beginning of the second half, coach Amorim kept the starting lineup but MU still did not create any more notable opportunities. In the 59th minute, the Portuguese coach decided to strengthen the attack by sending Mount and Bruno in to replace Ugarte and Mainoo.
In the 64th minute, Bruno sparked a quick attack on the left flank. Garnacho crossed well but Hojlund could not make an interception in front of the wide open goal. Shortly after the miss, the number 9 had to leave the field to make way for young talent Chido Obi.
Wolves played humbly from the start of the match and only needed one chance to make a difference. In the 78th minute, Sarabia unleashed a tricky free kick, sending the ball into the net, leaving goalkeeper Onana helpless. MU could only blame themselves for wasting many opportunities. In the 74th and 84th minutes, Bruno and Mount connected after Garnacho's pass but both balls went over the bar.
