Wolves Stun Manchester United in Easter Sunday Shock at Old Trafford
What a surprising turn of events we just witnessed at Old Trafford—Manchester United's perfect Easter Sunday record has officially been shattered. Going into this match, United fans were hopeful, maybe even confident. Historically, the Red Devils had won every league match played on Easter Sunday. It felt like a bit of magic around the occasion. But Wolves came in with a different script—and they followed it to the letter.
From kickoff, you could sense that Wolverhampton Wanderers weren’t just there to make up the numbers. They came to challenge, press, and disrupt. While United looked composed in possession early on, there was always this lurking feeling that Wolves were one move away from pouncing. And that's exactly what happened.

The match was tightly contested, but Wolves found that crucial breakthrough. It wasn’t a fluke either—they earned it. United's defense, which has looked solid in recent weeks, hesitated for just a moment, and Wolves capitalized. The goal was sharp, clinical, and left Old Trafford stunned. You could feel the air get sucked out of the stadium.
For Manchester United, this defeat hits harder than most. Not just because it's a home loss, or that it's against Wolves—a team they’ve usually had the better of—but because it breaks a streak that had become part of their modern-day folklore. Wins over Liverpool, QPR, Chelsea, and Brighton in previous Easter Sunday fixtures had made this day feel almost charmed. But football doesn't care much for tradition when grit and execution take over.
Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford tried to pull things back, but it wasn’t clicking. Wolves stayed disciplined, pressed smartly, and frustrated United at every turn. Even when Ten Hag made his substitutions, hoping to inject some energy and creativity, the visitors stood firm.
Credit to Ruben Amorim and his Wolves side—they came with a plan, they believed in it, and they executed it brilliantly. For United, it’s a wake-up call. You can’t bank on history. Each match writes its own story, and today’s chapter was written in gold for Wolves.
So yes, the 100% Easter Sunday streak is over, and maybe that’s a good thing. It reminds us all that in football, nothing is guaranteed. Every win has to be earned, no matter what day it falls on.
