MANCHESTER, England, ‌Dec 30 : 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.
