Amorim Calls For Patience As Man Utd Slip To Wolves Defeat

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim urged patience as his sides struggles continued with a 2-0 loss to Wolves on Thursday, leaving the Red Devils languishing in 14th place in the Premier League.

Uniteds night at Molineux turned sour just two minutes into the second half when captain Bruno Fernandes received his third red card of the season. Wolves capitalised, with Matheus Cunha scoring directly from a corner and later assisting Hwang Hee-chan to secure a crucial win that lifted the hosts out of the relegation zone.

Amorim, who has managed just two wins in his first seven league games, acknowledged the magnitude of the task ahead.

"I think we were always in control-not dominating, but in control-but set-pieces and the sending-off were really hard for us," Amorim said. "It's going to be a long journey, and this moment is really tough. We need time to train and improve."

United's defensive vulnerabilities were exposed again as they conceded from a set-piece for the fifth time in their last five league matches. Andre Onana, pinned by Wolves players during Cunha's in-swinging corner, was unable to prevent the ball from finding the far corner.
