This is not how Manchester United hoped to open a year.
The Red Devils lost tonight (Monday) to Wolves 1-0 and missed an opportunity to get close to a point from fourth-placed Arsenal.
Both teams were unable to find the goal at Old Trafford, and then came the 82nd minute.
Joao Moutinho sent an accurate kick to David de Gea's corner and set up a big win for the Wolves, who themselves narrowed the gap from United to just three points.
The game, which could have ended in one milestone, by Ronaldo, ended in two.
The Portuguese came up with the captain's armband on his side (only for the second time in his career) and on the less happy side, Ralph Rangnick recorded his first loss on the United lines.
