Soccer-Man United held to 1-1 draw by struggling Wolves

MANCHESTER, England, Dec 30 (Reuters) - Manchester United suffered a frustrating end to 2025 on Tuesday as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Wolverhampton Wanderers, with the Premier League's bottom side collecting their third point of the season.

Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee made the most of a rare start by giving United the lead with a deflected shot from the edge of the box in the 27th minute, but Wolves managed to level just before the break thanks to a header from Ladislav Krejci.

In the second half, Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa had to scramble to prevent a header from teammate Yerson Mosquera from going into the net, while his United counterpart Senne Lammens pulled off a superb double save of his own to deny Krejci and Mosquera in quick succession.

Patrick Dorgu thought he had snatched a 90th-minute winner for United but the goal was chalked off for offside following a VAR review, leaving United sixth in the standings with 30 points. Wolves are bottom with three points from 19 games.
