Manchester United made five changes to their lineup, with debutant Tyler Fredricson among those to start. However, the team's performance was uninspiring, reflecting their lack of motivation with the league title already secured.
Christian Eriksen, who is expected to leave the club this summer, created the first shot on target, forcing José Sá to tip the ball over from a dipping free-kick. Kobbie Mainoo also had a chance to score, but his curling effort went harmlessly past the post.
Manager Ruben Amorim made a triple substitution in the 60th minute, introducing Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount, and Diogo Dalot to try and boost the team's performance. However, it was Wolves substitute Pablo Sarabia who sealed the win with a precise free-kick that left André Onana with no chance.
Mason Mount had opportunities to equalize late in the game, but ultimately, Wolves celebrated their league double over Manchester United for the first time since 1979/80. The win moves Wolves to 15th place, level on points with 14th-placed Manchester United, who have now lost 15 Premier League games in a season for the first time in their history.
The match highlighted the contrasting fortunes of the two teams, with Wolves securing a crucial win while Manchester United struggled to find their footing.
