Wolves v Man Utd LIVE: Cunha scores from corner after Fernandes sent off
Ruben Amorim addresses Marcus Rashford's remarks regarding his future with Manchester United.
Wolves overcame a lackluster Manchester United at Molineux on Boxing Day, winning 2-0 and climbing out of the relegation zone.
Manchester United's captain, Bruno Fernandes, received a red card as his team suffered another loss, marking their fourth defeat in five matches in the Premier League.
Fernandes received a second yellow card just two minutes into the second half, adding to United's troubles as Matheus Cunha netted a goal directly from a corner kick.
It was a humiliating experience for United goalkeeper Andre Onana, highlighting the troubling state of the club as they find themselves struggling near the bottom of the standings.
Wolves managed to maintain their lead during a tense eight-minute stoppage time against the opposing team, which had only ten players. Hwang Hee-chan sealed the victory with almost the final kick of the match, scoring after a counter-attack. This victory marked a memorable first home game for the new manager, Vitor Pereira, who kicked off his tenure with an away win at Leicester City.
The win moved Wolves up from the relegation zone to 17th position, collecting 15 points from 18 matches. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim’s United finished the day in 14th place with a total of 22 points.

Wolves Dominate Man Utd With 2-0 Victory
What can we say about Manchester United? They've now lost three games in a row. Although their latest loss wasn’t as embarrassing as the one against Bournemouth, the situation hasn’t really improved, even with a full team on the field. Bruno Fernandes's red card was quite careless, and Ruben Amorim will struggle to succeed if his top players can't stay composed. Additionally, set-pieces continue to be a problem, as they conceded another goal directly from a corner—something that simply shouldn’t happen to any team in the Premier League.
