Manchester United Twitter account mocked after bold tweet after 5-1 opening day victory over Leeds resurfaces... with Red Devils now 22 POINTS behind arch rivals Manchester City

Manchester United's bold prediction at the start of the season has come back to haunt them after the Red Devils fell further away from qualifying for the Champions League on Monday night.

A stunning late strike from Portuguese veteran Joao Moutinho handed Wolves their first away victory against United in 42 years as Bruno Lage's side outclassed the Red Devils.

United's defeat leaves them in seventh position, four points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal and a mammoth 22 points behind runaway league leaders Manchester City, painting a stark reminder of the sizeable task at hand for Ralf Rangnick.
