Wolves have made it five wins in a row in the Premier League for the first time ever, and Pablo Sarabia was the hero at Old Trafford.
Wolves move up to 15th with the win, and are now mathematically safe from relegation.
It was by no means a stellar display from the visitors, with the players giving the impression at times that they were already on the beach in the first-half.
But they stepped it up in the second-half, with the backline also withstanding United pressure.
And it was Pablo Sarabia who was the match-winner, curling in a sublime free-kick from just outside the box. It was a game that was crying out for a moment of real quality, and it was a peach of a strike from the former Paris Saint-Germain ace.
Sarabia has enjoyed a pretty productive past few weeks for Wolves.
Against Ipswich Town he scored and assisted to set Wolves on their way to safety. And today, his goal has actually now secured the club’s safety, and fans have been talking about the maestro on social media.

Wolves fans think Pablo Sarabia should get a new contract after Man United heroics
As everyone knows, Sarabia is out of contract at the end of the season.
The star has been the subject of speculation for a while now, and it’s been suggested it’s more likely that Sarabia will leave than stay.
But given his exploits today against United, and also in recent weeks, some feel the club should now be making headway on a contract extension for him.
@OCowton01 said: “Proud to have been a long serving member of the Pablo Sarabia defenders club. Absolutely magnificent footballer, hope he stays.”
@CharIieGreg added: “There aren’t many as technically gifted as Pablo Sarabia to have donned the old gold. He might not be a starter, but I hope he gets given a new contract by #wwfc. Get him, Semedo & VP signed up for the long haul…”
@AdamC456 said: “Pablo Sarabia, some guy. Give him a contract to sign.”
@Iamrockymstar said: “Can’t believe I’m saying this. Get Sarabia that contract extension. Semedo too.”
@monthofthegoal added: “Sarabia should get a new contract. He’s a match winner. Class.”

Why Sarabia may not want to stay at Wolves
It will be very interesting to see what happens with Sarabia this summer.
But it would be no surprised if the player was ready for a new chapter.
Ultimately, although he’s made some big contributions, he has not been a regular starter this season.
With his contract expiring, Sarabia – who has interest from Celta Vigo amongst others – has the freedom to look at other options, and there will also be an opportunity for him to potentially get a big signing-on fee elsewhere. And possibly big wages too.
Sarabia is said to be on ‘eye-watering money’ at Wolves, and this may mean the club are not willing to pay him the same wages if he sticks around.
