One last indignity in 2025. A year of many a low ended in familiar fashion. Just when Manchester United seemed to have taken a step forward, they contrived to take two back. Up against what could prove statistically the worst team in Premier League history, United were the inferior side for swathes of the game. The last sound at Old Trafford of the year was Wolves fans singing: “We’ve got a point.” It was just their third of the season but, despite arriving following an 11-match losing run, they may depart with regrets they did not record their first victory of a miserable campaign
For United, now with a lone win in their last five home games, it was both the result and the manner of it that jarred. “We struggled in all the game,” admitted boss Ruben Amorim. “The fluidity offensively wasn't there. We have lack of fluidity and then lack of quality and then a lack of creation of chances.”
