Yesterday night was a big nightmare for Ole Solskjaer as his boy were beaten away to Wolverhampton in on the mid week games of the premier league. Ola has been very successful at Old Trafford since taken over from Jose Mourinho in December. He successful run of matches last two weeks earned him a permanent set at Old Trafford but that record has been tamed last night in one of the deciding matches that will determine who finish among the top four this season. It was in interesting match to watch as both teams fought hard to undo each other with a lot of goal scoring opportunities being squandered by both teams.
Diogo Jota ensure that his side were level on goal 12 minutes when he nicely finished a pass from Raul Jimenez after Scott Mc Tominay had given the visitors the lead with a 22 yard strike 13 minutes into play. Wolves scored a scrapped 77th minutes goal to take all three points as keeper De gea failed to clear his ball properly which hit Chris Smalling to enter his post as own goal. Well, this feat may boil down to the fact Manchester United captain Ashley Young was shown a second bookable yellow card that resulted to red card by Mike dean following a sliding challenge.
The most talk about post match topic among the Manchester United fan base was the event that occurred few minutes to the end of the regulation time when Marcus Rojo and Sergio Remero were spotted by the camera joking and laughing at each other while their team were losing by a lone goal. This didn’t go down well with most United fans as they saw it as a mockery and inability to identify with the team during that hard moment. Being one of the matches that may end up denting their top four hopes, many fans are already calling for the heads of the duo to be sold immediately during the summer in their various social media handles.
It is remained to be seen if the coach or the board will take any action against these players or sell them out as insinuated by the fans.
That means United have missed a big chance to go third on the premier league log and according to Ole Gunnar's post match interview said that his boys needs to win five on their last six remaining matches to be in the top four this season. This shocking defeat now leaves Manchester United level on point with Tottenham after their last weekend lost to Liverpool and a point above Chelsea who will square it up to night with Brighton as well as Arsenal may overtake them if they win their match.
