Ruben Amorim's woes at Manchester United continued on Boxing Day as Wolves condemned them to their eighth Premier League defeat of the season.

Following a goalless first-half, United played almost the entirety of the second period with 10 men after Bruno Fernandes was sent off for two yellow cards.

United-linked Matheus Cunha opened the scoring from a corner before Hee-Chan Hwang made sure of the victory in the ninth minute of added time to leave Amorim's side 14th in the Premier League table.

The disappointment in the Black Country comes after United crashed out of the EFL Cup and fell to a 3-0 home defeat to AFC Bournemouth before Christmas.

United play once more before the January transfer window opens and there will be expectation that the club can improve Amorim's squad for the second half of the season. One player who has been tipped to make the switch to Old Trafford is Cunha.

The Brazilian was linked with United in the summer and his stock has only risen with his performances for Wolves. He has scored 10 goals in the Premier League, including his audacious strike from a corner kick against Amorim's men.

And after watching his side fail to defend Cunha, Amorim and the former Atletico Madrid man in conversation whilst sharing a hug on the Molineux pitch. The exchange has led to many supporters believing the United boss was doing his best to convince the 25-year-old to join him in January.
