Manchester United were unable to turn their stuttering form around against relegation-threatened Wolves after going down to 10 men during their clash at Molineux on Boxing Day. Ruben Amorim had once again opted to omit Marcus Rashford from his travelling squad amid increasing speculation that the academy graduate will soon look to move on from his boyhood club.

But despite keeping on level footing in the first-half, United were hampered minutes into the second when captain Bruno Fernandes picked up a second yellow card and was forced off the pitch. It took Wolves just 11 minutes after the Portugal international to go ahead via Matheus Cunha's opener, and under newly appointed manager Vitor Pereira, kept the upper hand despite a tense closing spell.

The hosts were sorely tested as the clock ran down, but managed to cling on and swipe three festive points thanks to a 98th-minute goal from Hwang Hee-Chan snuffing all hope of a comeback. Here, Mail Sport's Aadam Patel runs the rule over who struggled and who shone as United's hunt for a resurrection under Amorim rolls on.
