Manchester United’s struggles continued with a third straight defeat across all competitions as captain Bruno Fernandes left his team in the lurch during a dismal 2-0 Boxing Day loss to Wolves at Molineux.
Fernandes’ recklessness proved costly yet again, as the midfielder received his second yellow card early in the second half — his third red card of the season — leaving Ruben Amorim’s side to fight with 10 men. Wolves wasted no time capitalizing, aided by a blunder from Andre Onana. Despite a solid first-half performance, Onana misjudged the flight of Matheus Cunha’s corner, allowing it to drop straight into the net, marking the second time in a week United had conceded directly from a corner.
Down a man, United battled to find an equalizer but lacked the cutting edge. Their fate was sealed in stoppage time when Cunha, a constant threat throughout, burst forward unopposed and teed up Hwang Hee-Chan for a simple finish. The defeat marks Amorim’s fifth loss in 10 games and deepens the woes of his troubled start at Old Trafford.
