Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must be sick of the sight of Wolves. Only 17 days after being dumped out of the FA Cup quarter-finals by Nuno Espírito Santo’s increasingly impressive team, Manchester United suffered a defeat that could have severe ramifications for their hopes of finishing in the Premier League top four.
Scott McTominay’s first goal in a United shirt gave them an early lead, but the evening unravelled badly for them thereafter. Diogo Jota’s eighth goal of the season, set up by Raúl Jiménez, hauled the home team level after a poor error by Fred, and United were forced to play the majority of the second half with 10 men after Ashley Young, already on a booking, recklessly lunged at the Wolves scorer. Mike Dean wasted little time in brandishing his 100th Premier League red card.
