'He gets away with murder' – Man United fans explode at star who lost possession 16 times vs Wolves

Manchester United's frustrating 1-1 draw against Premier League bottom-dwellers Wolves at Old Trafford has ignited fury among fans, particularly aimed at one star player who lost possession a staggering 16 times during the match.[1][2]

The game saw Joshua Zirkzee give United the lead in the 27th minute with a deflected effort, his first shot on target ending up in the net after some misfortune for Wolves' defense.[1][2][5] However, Ladislav Krejci leveled just before halftime with a header, securing Wolves' first point under new manager Rob Edwards and halting their 11-match losing streak.[1][2][3]

Despite chances, including Patrick Dorgu's 90th-minute goal ruled out for offside, United couldn't break through again. Fans vented their rage online, with one labeling the culprit "gets away with murder" for his sloppy play. Social media exploded with comments like "How does he keep starting?" and "16 turnovers? Criminal!" – pinpointing the player's repeated loss of the ball as a key factor in United's failure to capitalize.[1]

Ruben Amorim's side, missing eight senior players including Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo, and Mason Mount, reverted to a three-man defense but struggled for cohesion. Wolves, also depleted, showed fight, with their keeper making crucial saves and fans cheering the hard-earned point.[1][2]

Boos rang out at full-time as "Attack, attack, attack!" chants echoed a frustrated Old Trafford. Debutant 17-year-old Bendito Mantato came on, but it wasn't enough. United stay sixth, missing a chance to challenge fourth-placed Liverpool, while Wolves climb to three points.[1][2]

The backlash highlights deeper issues in Amorim's squad amid a topsy-turvy 2025, with supporters demanding accountability for glaring errors that cost victory against the league's weakest side.
