The goal was a result of Poor play from Phil Jones whose weak attempt to clear the ball cost his side the tiny loss.

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old’s late strike saw the Wanderers win their first league match at Old Trafford in almost 42 years.

The former RB Leipzig boss was officially named as the new Red Devils head coach on Monday, November 29, 2021, eight days after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s dismissal.
