The pink card to Bruno Fernandes clearly supplied extenuating circumstances and there was sufficient stress inside Molineux to consider Manchester United would possibly conjure up an equalizer till very late within the match. However the 2-0 defeat to Wolves was nonetheless alarming.

One other show of stuttering, one other aim conceded straight from a nook and even much less from a set piece. A lot of United’s focus now’s on the long run, however it is a matter that Amorim should sort out shortly to keep away from this season going from unhealthy to worse.
