Premier League: Wolverhampton Wanderers End Ralf Rangnick's Honeymoon At Manchester United

Wolves ended Ralf Rangnick's unbeaten start as Manchester United interim manager as Joao Moutinho's strike earned a deserved 1-0 win at Old Trafford.

Wolverhampton Wanderers ended Ralf Rangnick's unbeaten start as Manchester United interim manager on Monday as Joao Moutinho's strike earned a deserved 1-0 win at Old Trafford. A first home defeat to Wolves in 42 years leaves United still seventh in the Premier League table, four points adrift of the top four. But it was another lacklustre performance that was just as concerning as the result for Rangnick as the Red Devils were thoroughly outplayed. "We didn't play well at all, neither individually or collectively," said Rangnick, who had taken 10 points from his first four games in charge.

"We didn't press at all. We tried but after 10 or 15 minutes we were not able to get into those pressing situations.

"The games show we still have a lot of work to do. Especially against the ball, but also in the first half when we had the ball, we had too many unforced giveaways."

An injury crisis at centre-back with captain Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly all missing, forced Rangnick to hand Phil Jones his first Premier League appearance in two years.

But the former England international was one of few United players to emerge with any credit from a ragged display that raises questions over their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League.
