CurrentReport Blog Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that his team’s 2-0 loss to Wolves was made significantly harder by Bruno Fernandes’ red card early in the second half.
The Portugal midfielder received a second yellow card just a minute after the restart, marking his third dismissal of the season. The incident left United with 10 players for most of the second half, complicating their efforts to turn the match around.
Amorim’s Post-Match Comments
Speaking after the match, Amorim said, “Of course, when we lose, when we don’t win, it’s a step back. It was really hard with the sending off. The goal was similar to the one against Tottenham. Even with one less player, we tried, and I think we were close to something, but then Wolves scored the second goal. Then, in the end, we tried everything, and the transition made it 2-0.”
United’s Struggles Continue
The defeat has left Manchester United languishing in 14th place after 18 matches, a far cry from their ambitions at the start of the season. The team’s inconsistency and disciplinary issues, including Fernandes’ repeated red cards, have added to their woes.
Amorim and his squad will need to regroup quickly as they face mounting pressure to turn their season around. The manager’s focus will likely include addressing disciplinary concerns and improving the team’s defensive transitions.
