Marc Cucurrela’s aim was all that would separate the 2 sides. This newest disappointing consequence implies that United have suffered 18 Premier League defeats this time period.
The Pink Devils stay languishing in sixteenth place within the desk forward of subsequent week’s all-important Europa League last.
Again to Hojlund, the United striker had a weird second within the second half, when he was hauled off the pitch by the referee for a equipment violation.
