Let’s look at the right side. At least, Manchester United is now mathematically safe from relegation.
The same goes for the wolves who moved with Ruben Amorim on 38 points with Victory at Old Trafford on Sunday, finishing a double of the League on United for the first time since the 1979-80 season.
The defeat of Ipswich in Arsenal guarantees that the two clubs will remain in the Premier League, where the good news begins for wolves and ends for United.
From the Bedlam of Epic Europa League on Thursday evening against Lyon, United only caused boredom here under the April sun when they were brought back to earth with a bump.
A largely turgid match was lit by a real free quality of the replacement Pablo Sarabia in the 77th minute, marking the real effort of Wolves of the whole game.
He made a United united to a record defeat of the 15th first League record, which has also been the highest of the club since 1990.

For United, it was a defeat of the 15th league of the season, keeping them in 14th place
Worse, it was the 13th time that United has failed to score in the league this season. Rasmus Hojlund, their striker of 72 million pounds sterling, now scored once in 29 hours and 28 minutes of football, stressing why an attacker will be at the top of the Amorim shopping list this summer.
“For Rasmus, the match is to score goals because he is an attacker,” said United coach. “But it’s a team thing, I said that. Our team should score more goals. It is not only the chances of missing Rasmus, that is the whole team.
“The only way I know is to work on him, to show him the videos. He must score a goal and he will not score if he is absent (team). So I try to manage this during the games. But he needs to mark one, maybe he’s a whole attacker.
“We were the best team, but in the end, it doesn’t matter because if we are not scoring goals, it is impossible to win matches. A kick changes the game and it’s really frustrating to end like that.
There were at least a few positive points for United afterMorim brought five Lyon changes when he was built towards the semi-final of the Europa League against Athletic Bilbao which provides at least a little light at the end of the tunnel.
Tyler Fredricson received his first team debut and barely sore foot. The teammate of young people Harry Amass made his first beginning of Old Trafford and looks more at home at each match while he was playing for the third time in a week.
“I think they played very well, but they deserved a better memory of their first games,” Amorim told the eighth defeat of United at the home league of the season.
Consider this: Wolves boss, Vitor Pereira, has now won five consecutive championship games, a just less than Morim since he replaced Erik Ten Hag in November. What a fantastic work that Pereira did in Molinine.

“It was not our best match. Technically and tactically, we know that we can play better, “said Pereira, who had to play the caretaker Dan Bentley after I retired during the heating.
“We played with our souls, with our mind, and that’s what I saw in the game. The supporters believed and the moment when we had a chance, we marked.
Three days after their classic of the Europa League with Lyon, he always had the impression that it was too much to ask United to hit something like the same peaks here, and therefore it turned out in a game that had a distinct sensation at the end of the season.
The only effort to the goal in the first half was a Christian free kick Eriksen comfortably returned the bar by Bentley.
Hojlund’s difficulties continued when he did not anticipate and connect with the crossing of Alejandro Garnacho at the back post after Eriksen and replacing Bruno Fernandes – who started a championship match on the bench for the first time since January 2022 – combined in the box.
The dune did not then have the confidence necessary to beat Toti who made an excellent interception tackle after Hojlund made a germ Emmanuel Agbadou and allowed the goal.
At the top of this point, the only threat of Wolves had been a corner which led the ball to remove a Nick from Victor Lindelof while defying Jorgen Strand Larsen and passing in front of the distant post.
But Sarabia pierced in the 77th minute, shortly after arriving for Strand Larsen, when Eriksen was reserved for a fault on Matheus Cunha.

It was Cunha’s most important contribution in a moderate exhibition against one of the clubs that will be interested in signing it this summer.
Sarabia diminished her free kick before curling the ball on the left on the plain wall and in the upper corner with Andre Onana well beaten.
“It has a quality but its quality as a person is more important,” said Pereira. “He believes in himself, he has character.
Fernandes wasted the few half-hence that the local team could shape before the end.
But one day when fans of the Sir Bobby Charlton stand held up to the leaders of United before kick-off and the half-time to protest against the price of tickets and plan to move some of them from this part of the field next season to make way for a VIP Pirogue club, Old Trafford could not wake United in another late return.
