Manchester United suffered their 15th Premier League defeat this season, losing 1-0 to Wolves after a brilliant free-kick from Pablo Sarabia.
Manager Ruben Amorim made five changes from the Europa League victory over Lyon for this domestic match.
One of the changes saw a debut for 20-year-old academy defender Tyler Fredricson.
Christian Eriksen came closest to scoring in the first half with a free kick, but overall, both teams played without much spark.
Rasmus Hojlund missed a good opportunity early in the second half after failing to spot Kobbie Mainoo making a run.
Shortly after, Hojlund couldn`t connect with a cross from Alejandro Garnacho and was then substituted.
However, Sarabia sealed the win for Wolves with a fantastic free-kick into the top corner of the net, leaving Andre Onana with no chance.
Manchester United dropped to 14th place in the Premier League, level on points with Wolves, and are facing the possibility of their lowest ever Premier League finish.
Here are player ratings from Ken Lawrence at Old Trafford.
ANDRE ONANA – 5
Onana may be replaced in the summer as manager Ruben Amorim reportedly wants a more dependable goalkeeper. His transfer fee could be used elsewhere to strengthen the squad. He was blameless for Sarabia`s stunning free kick.
NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI – 6
Mazraoui, usually a right-back, played again as a central defender in a back three and performed reliably. The Moroccan player is known for his solid positioning, accurate passing, and calm demeanor.
His defending has improved significantly, demonstrated by a crucial tackle to dispossess Rayan Ait-Nouri when United`s defense was stretched.
VICTOR LINDELOF – 6
Lindelof captained the team at the start before Bruno Fernandes came on. He delivered a solid performance. With his contract expiring and limited starts under Amorim, this game was a good opportunity to impress potential future clubs like West Ham, who were interested in January.
TYLER FREDRICSON – 6
Academy player Tyler Fredricson made his debut and played well. He was composed and confident in a new defensive setup. While Wolves didn`t threaten much until late, Fredricson showed promise for the future.
PATRICK DORGU – 6
Dorgu switched to right wing-back and adapted well. He provided a great cross that Hojlund failed to capitalize on. Signed in February, Dorgu is showing signs of becoming a key player.
MANUEL UGARTE -4
Ugarte had a poor moment in the first half, struggling to defend against Nelson Semedo. Despite some good moments since his arrival, this match highlighted his inconsistency.
CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN – 6
Eriksen`s free kick was well saved by Wolves` backup goalkeeper Dan Bentley. Announcing his departure in the summer, the 33-year-old veteran proved he still has quality to offer, likely in a less physically demanding league.
HARRY AMASS – 8
In his second Premier League start, 18-year-old Amass impressed with confidence, skill, and vision. He delivered a great early cross and is quickly becoming a fan favorite due to his effort and talent. Amass has the potential to become a star, possibly in a more advanced role in the future.
