– Manchester United lost for the first time in the Premier League under interim coach Ralf Rangnick as Joao Moutinho struck late on to give Wolverhampton Wanderers victory at Old Trafford.
– Moutinho drove home on the half-volley after Adama Traore’s cross had only been half cleared by Phil Jones, who was making his first appearance for the hosts in 707 days.
– It was a deserved win for Wolves, who dominated the first half and also hit the bar late on through Romain Saiss’ free-kick.

– United remain seventh while Wolves are now three points and once place behind them in eighth.
