Manchester United’s poor run of form in the Premier League continued with a defeat to Wolves.
Less than 72 hours after Manchester United beat Lyon 5-4 in the Europa League, the Red Devils were thrown back into action in the Premier League.
Pablo Sarabia’s free-kick goal in the second half gave Wolves the breakthrough at Old Trafford after United dominated much of the match.
Ruben Amorim explained why United cope better in Europe than they do domestically, and he still can’t quite get his team ticking in the Premier League this season.
Here are five things learned from Manchester United’s defeat on Sunday afternoon:
Ruben Amorim kept his promise with Tyler Fredricson
After beating Lyon, Ruben Amorim said post-match that he will have to trust academy players in the Premier League for the remaining matches this season.
He kept to his word against Wolves, handing a start to Harry Amass and a senior debut to Tyler Fredricson.
The 20-year-old defender played on the left of United’s back three and was extremely impressive, stepping up and being aggressive in his defending, while also being composed and calm in possession.
Fredricson can expect plenty more minutes before the curtain is drawn on the season.
Patrick Dorgu impresses on the right
With Amass starting at left wing-back, Amorim gave Diogo Dalot a well-deserved rest with Patrick Dorgu starting on the right.
