Wolves 2 Man Utd 0: Amorim crisis deepens after embarrassing goal and Fernandes red – and he faces disaster in next game

RUBEN AMORIM needs to spend plenty more time working on set-pieces if he is to stop United’s spectacular plunge towards the depths of the Premier league. If this terrible form continues - although they will surely improve at some stage - the Red Devils could end up in a relegation fight.

Matheus Cunha scored the winner directly from a corner-kick to send United to their fifth loss in 10 matches under their new manager Amorim. And that was after United were forced to play with 10 men following Bruno Fernandes' red card for a late challenge on Nelson Semedo - his second booking - at the start of the second half.

Incredibly, under Amorim, United have conceded from set-pieces against Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Spurs and Bournemouth. Yet it must be the first time in the space of a week that United have ever leaked two goals directly from corners which quite frankly, is shameful.

Son Heung-Min caught out United’s stand-in keeper Altay Bayındir in the Carabao Cup and in an identical goal here, Wolves’ star man Cunha saw his corner float into the far corner of the net. Andre Onana complained to referee Tony Harrington that he was being fouled but the United keeper was more interested in shoving Wolves defender Matt Doherty than trying to keep the ball out of the net.
Cunha is a January target for Arsenal and little wonder as he is such a good player. And he is currently facing an FA ban for being charged with misconduct after the final whistle against Ipswich and Wolves would certainly miss him as he was terrific throughout.
