Nothing is going well for Manchester United, defeated for a third consecutive time in the Premier League, this time on the pitch at Wolverhampton (2-0). Recently arrived coach Rúben Amorim is struggling to reverse the negative spiral and has not minced his words on the club’s critical situation.
A new worrying defeat
Against Wolves, the Red Devils never seemed able to gain the upper hand. The expulsion of Bruno Fernandes in the 47th minute, after an avoidable foul on Nélson Semedo, precipitated the Mancunian fall. The goals of Matheus Cunha from a direct corner (59th) and Hwang Hee-chan at the end of the match (90th + 8) sealed a defeat which places Manchester United in a worrying 14th place in the Premier League, just 7 points behind the relegation zone.
Amorim ruthless towards his players
Described as ” furious “ by the English press, Rúben Amorim did not hide his dissatisfaction, not hesitating to openly criticize his players from his bench. At a press conference, the Portuguese coach delivered a chilling observation: “Yes, right now we just have to survive and win sometimes. We have to work on a lot of things, on and off the pitch.” Asked how long it would take to turn the situation around, Amorim admitted: “I have no idea. It will be a difficult time, and we are far from overcoming it.”
A crucial test against Newcastle
The next match against Newcastle already promises to be decisive for the Mancunians, who must avoid sinking further. Amorim will have to find solutions quickly to stabilize a team in crisis, in difficulty defensively and offensively. Fans, just like the press, are questioning the coach’s ability to turn things around in a context where results , like player confidence, are at their lowest.
