United are cursed! Bruno’s red, Onana’s blunder, and a corner-kick goal win it for Wolves!

Can any team win a game in which its captain receives a red card minutes after the break, and its custodian concedes a goal directly from a corner kick only 11 minutes later? Hardly. But what is wrong with the team to which something like that can happen? Ruben Amorim has to figure that out.As if things were not awful enough already – mice infestation hits Old TraffordAfter a peaceful first half, Man United’s captain and keeper decided to spice things up, as the Portuguese recklessly deserved a second yellow in the 47th minute, and Andre Onana allowed Wolverhampton’s Matheus Cunha to find the net from a corner kick! Hwang Hee-chan made it 2-0 in the added-time, crowning a great counter, for Wolves’ second consecutive win and at least temporary escape from the relegation zone – 2-0.Before this season, Bruno Fernandes had never received a red card as a Man Utd player. Now he has THREE 😳 pic.twitter.com/mXwAN4n3hq— B/R Football (@brfootball) December 26, 2024 When the half finishes goalless it usually indicated that that part of the game was not interesting. Well, that was totally the case with the duel between Wolves and Man United. A long-distance attempt on each side by Matheus Cunha and Diogo Dalot and a header apiece by Jorgen Strand Larsen and Lisandro Martinez were enough only to test Andre Onana and Jose Sa’s focus and help them earn applause from the stands. The remainder of the opening 45 minutes was forgettable.Bruno wanted to pay, but Ratcliffe said ‘no‘And then the series of shocking events for the Red Devils began. Only two minutes into the second half, United captain Bruno Fernandes earned a second booking, getting sent of for the third time in his career and third time this season, after receiving two red cards in two consecutive games three months ago.Bruno Fernandes sent off with a red card….😨 pic.twitter.com/5DB1qnMe3g— Man United Fan Club (@manufcnow) December 26, 2024 Two minutes later, Larsen scored the opener but, fortunately for the visitors’ fans, it was disallowed due to Norwegian’s offside. Still, in the 58th minute, no one could save United but not from the opposing players, but from Onana, who conceded a goal directly from Cunha’s corner kick – 1-0!🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 GOAL | Wolves 1-0 Manchester United | Matheus CunhaWHAT A FANTASTIC GOAL FROM MATHEUS CUNHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pic.twitter.com/FWSQ23xqLD— Tekkers Foot (@tekkersfoot) December 26, 2024 Amorim tried to change his team’s fortune by making all five subs and sending in the offensive Antony, Joshua Zirkzee, and Alejandro Garnacho, but Wolverhampton’s sturdy defence held out, though United failed to create some exceptional chances apart for several set pieces. As the Red Devils started desperately chasing the leveller, they were punished for leaving too much space to the Wolves when the sub Hwang Hee-chan made it 2-0 in the 99th minute.⚽️ GOAL 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 | Wolverhampton 2-0 Manchester United | Hee-Chan HwangAssist by Cunhapic.twitter.com/NSzKmmz3zH— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) December 26, 2024 This was United’s second consecutive defeat without them scoring a goal and currently it seems there is no way out from the crisis and even Amorim cannot solve the riddle called “How to help United?” On the other hand, Wolverhampton noted their second clean-sheet win in a row and will probably spend the night out of the relegation zone.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 18Thursday Manchester City – Everton 1-1 (1-1)/Silva 14 – Ndiaye 36/Bournemouth – Crystal Palace 0-0Chelsea – Fulham 1-2 (1-0)/Palmer 16 – Wilson 82, Muniz 90+5/Newcastle – Aston Villa 3-0 (1-0)/Gordon 2, Isak 59, Joelinton 90+1/Nott.
