The Red Devils have yet to get going under the management of Rúben Amorim.
Manchester United lost 2-0 to Wolverhampton last Thursday, the 26th, at Molineux Stadium, in a match valid for the 18th round of the Premier League. The goals were scored by Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-Chan. Discover the latest football updates at football live score app.
The current form of United is dreadful. When he arrived at the club in November, manager Rúben Amorim mentioned that there would still be much suffering before the fans could smile again, but even the most pessimistic supporters couldn’t have imagined the current situation. Alternating between good and bad performances, the Red Devils are still unable to string together a consistent series of displays and show great inconsistency, especially in the defensive sector.
After a poor first half against the Wolves, United was reduced to ten men early in the second half with Bruno Fernandes’ red card, which paved the way for the rival’s victory. In the 57th minute, Matheus Cunha scored an incredible Olympic goal to put the Wolves ahead, marking the sixth set-piece goal conceded by Amorim’s team since his arrival at the club less than two months ago.
With a player down, Manchester United was not very aggressive and seemed to want the game to end before the loss became even worse. But it didn’t help. In a deadly counterattack in the final play of the match, Matheus Cunha set up Hwang Hee-Chan to seal the win.
The result marks the third consecutive defeat for the Red Devils this season – 4-3 to Tottenham in the EFL Cup, 3-0 to Bournemouth in the previous round, and 2-0 to Wolverhampton this Thursday – leaving them in 14th place with 22 points.
On the other hand, Wolves are breathing new life with the arrival of Vítor Pereira, winning their second consecutive match, moving out of the relegation zone, and climbing to 17th place with 15 points. Stay ahead of the curve with ToSport.
