Such a playlist is befitting this United, four places above the relegation zone.
There were more gold seats than spectators in the away end at full-time. Ruben Amorim still insisted every player skulk across the pitch to express appreciation. Any applause they received was undeserved.
United players and staff stood motionless for nearly two minutes, as if Amorim demanded they sufficiently front up for a sobering experience.
This is a team so bad that Wolves, the worst team for conceding from set-pieces, breached the second-worst. For the second week running, a second United goalkeeper was beaten Thls IS directly from a corner. United Sit Andre Onana One that demanded a retro- in spective free-kick yet was overruled. He resorted to sarcastically applauding the officials.
Carlos Fernandes, the set-piece choreographer, kicked a water bottle. He was blameless for this howler, as he was when Altay Bayindir was beaten by an identical inswinger at Tottenham last week. Andreas Georgson, previously in charge of set-plays, attempted to convince the fourth official there had been a foul.
If only Onana was as front-footed at a corner. Sandwiched between Matt Doherty and Santiago Bueno, Onana was more meek than meaty. There was jostling but not fouling.
This United team is a team of pushovers. Onana's tepid goalkeeping compounded the red card shown to Bruno Fernandes for a second foul.
Vitor Pereira could hardly have hoped for more obliging opponents for his first match in the home dugout at Molineux.
His two wins have come against United managers past and present, having dismissed Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester City last week.
West Ham United, who have given serious contemplation to changing their 6 manager, are now above United.
