5 Facts about Man United’s defeat to Wolves

There are at least five interesting facts regarding Manchester United’s defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. Manchester United swallowed bad results in the 21st week of the 2021-2022 Premier League when they hosted Wolverhampton Wanderers, Monday (3/1/2022). The Red Devils were beaten 0-1 by Wolves in front of tens of thousands of supporters who packed the Old Trafford Stadium.

Man United’s defeat was caused by Wolves midfielder Joao Moutinho’s goal in the 82nd minute. With this result, Man United is still stuck in seventh place in the 2021-2022 Premier League standings. The Red Devils collected 31 points from 19 matches. They failed to cut the distance from Arsenal (35 points) who currently occupy fourth position. In fact, Arsenal previously surrendered 1-2 to Manchester City this week.

Man United’s defeat of Wolves produced some interesting facts. Here are five of them:

Man United is worse than last season

After the defeat to Wolves, Man United failed to score in four different home games in the Premier League this season. This record is worse than last season (2020-2021) when Man United failed to score three times against different opposing teams at Old Trafford.

Phil Jones Returns

The match for Man United vs Wolves was marked by the return of Phil Jones who had recovered from a long injury. The last time the English defender defended the Red Devils in the Premier League was in January 2020 or 712 days ago (vs Burnley). According to Opta’s records, this is the longest comeback for a player who has not left the club in the Man United camp in the Premier League.

Cristiano Ronaldo Became Captain

Cristiano Ronaldo captained Manchester United in this match after Harry Maguire was injured. For Ronaldo, this is the second time he has had the opportunity to captain Man United. Previously, Ronaldo had captained Man United when the Red Devils recorded a 2-0 home win over Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League on March 19, 2008. Unfortunately, CR7’s chance as Man United captain this time was marred by defeat to Wolves.

Man United’s first defeat since 1980

This is the first time since 1980 that Man United have lost to Wolves at Old Trafford. Previously, Man United had never lost to Wolves in 10 matches (7 wins, 3 draws).

Joao Moutinho made history

When he scored against Man United, Joao Moutinho was 35 years 117 days old. He is the oldest away player in Premier League history to score the winning goal at the Theater of Dreams.
