Wolves Defeat Manchester United 2-0 on Boxing Day

Manchester United suffered a disheartening 2-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing Day, marking their eighth league loss this season and leaving them precariously positioned just above the relegation zone. The turning point came when captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a second yellow card shortly after halftime, which greatly impacted United's performance. Matheus Cunha scored directly from a corner for Wolves, exploiting United's ongoing set-piece vulnerabilities, and later assisted Hwang Hee-chan for a second goal in stoppage time. This defeat underlines the struggles of manager Ruben Amorim, whose team is performing below expectations despite considerable investment in the squad. Fans and pundits alike are calling for support for Amorim amid concerns about the team's direction and a need for tactical adjustments. Wolves, meanwhile, secured their second consecutive win, lifting them out of the relegation zone and signaling a positive start under new manager Vitor Pereira.
