Manchester United Legends and Pundits Runs into Two Players for Disappointing Performance against wolves,they insist AMORIM should do away with them if he wants to keep his job
Manchester United’s recent 2-0 loss to Wolves has sparked sharp criticism from club legends now working as pundits. Their frustration was directed primarily at Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Højlund, with some suggesting that manager Rúben Amorim may need to make tough decisions about their roles if he hopes to salvage the season.
Fernandes, whose reckless challenges led to his third red card of the season, has faced mounting criticism regarding his discipline and leadership as team captain. His actions left United with 10 men for the entire second half, severely hampering their chances of a comeback. One pundit described his performance as disastrous, emphasizing that such lapses were unacceptable for someone in a leadership position.
Højlund, on the other hand, struggled to make an impact despite being reintroduced into the starting lineup. Managing just 14 touches throughout the game, he appeared frustrated and isolated. Critics argue that his lack of service from midfield isn’t the sole issue, pointing to his minimal movement and inability to capitalize on opportunities.
The match further exposed weaknesses across the squad. Defensively, United conceded directly from a corner, a recurring issue this season. While Noussair Mazraoui delivered a respectable performance and showed versatility, others, such as Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo, failed to assert themselves in midfield. The team’s inability to maintain a clean sheet and impose control in crucial moments continues to hinder progress.
The calls for change are growing louder, with many believing Amorim must act decisively. Whether it involves adjusting tactics, reshuffling the squad, or addressing underperforming players like Fernandes and Højlund, the pressure on the manager is immense. With challenging fixtures against Newcastle and Liverpool on the horizon, these decisions could define both United’s season and Amorim’s tenure.
