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 legends, now serving as pundits, have voiced their frustration with two players following the team’s lackluster 2-0 loss to Wolves.
The former players did not hold back in their criticism of Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Højlund, insisting that manager Rúben Amorim needs to part ways with them if he hopes to salvage his tenure at Old Trafford.

“He can’t win anything with these two players in the squad; their ratings today say it all,” one pundit remarked, referencing Fernandes’ red card and Højlund’s lack of impact throughout the game.

Fernandes, who was sent off in the second quarter of the match, has faced increasing scrutiny for his discipline and leadership, with this being his third red card of the season. Meanwhile, Højlund’s struggles to make an impression in attack have drawn criticism as United continue to falter offensively.

The pundits believe Amorim’s ability to impose higher standards and rebuild confidence in the squad hinges on making bold changes, starting with addressing the contributions of underperforming players like Fernandes and Højlund. As pressure mounts, these comments reflect the growing demand for significant adjustments at the club.

Manchester United (3-4-2-1):
Andre Onana – 4

Made some important saves including a great diving stop to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen but you simply cannot concede directly from a corner – though Matheus Cunha’s goal was pretty special.

Leny Yoro – 5

Came into the United’s three-man defence. Picked up a careless booking in the fourth minute but was decent until he was replaced for Antony just after the hour mark.

Harry Maguire – 5.5

Battled well with Stand Larsen all game though was done by the Wolves forward for his header which was saved by Onana. Like the rest of the United defence, will be fuming at the goal they conceded.

Lisandro Martinez – 5.5

Alongside Yoro and Maguire, wasn’t too bad but yet another game without a clean sheet. Missed a big chance in the first half when his header from six yards out was easily saved by Jose Sa

Noussair Mazraoui – 6.5

Started at right wing-back further showing that he can play anywhere in this system. Battled well with Rayan Ait-Nouri before playing as a centre-half when Amorim made a triple change at 1-0. Probably United’s best player on the day.

Manuel Ugarte – 5

He has to do more. There’s certainly a quality player in there but he struggled to get into the game and was replaced just after the hour mark as United hunted for an equaliser.

Kobbie Mainoo – 5.5

Another one who has to offer more. Got into some good positions but lost the ball carelessly on a couple of occasions. Hooked off for Casemiro in the 64th minute.

Diogo Dalot – 6

Played down the left flank and put in a good shift. Had a good effort saved from outside the box and always offered an option. Should have been used more.

Amad Diallo – 5.5

Offered a threat but was wasteful when in possession. Made some poor decisions when in dangerous positions and was replaced by Alejandro Garnacho in the 80th minute.
Bruno Fernandes – 3

A day to forget for the United skipper. Cost his team. Booked for fouling Cunha in the first-half and then picked up a second yellow card for bringing down Nelson Semedo at the start of the second-half. No need to be making challenges like that when you’re on a booking. Stupid would be an understatement.

Rasmus Hojlund – 4.5

Back in the starting line-up but offered absolutely nothing against statistically the worst defence in the league. Cut a frustrated figure throughout due to the lack of service. Just 14 touches.

Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat to Wolves has intensified scrutiny of both the team’s performance and individual players. The match ratings reflect a lackluster display, with Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Højlund drawing the sharpest criticism.

### Key Talking Points:

1. **Bruno Fernandes’ Indiscipline**
Fernandes received the lowest rating of the match (3) after his red card for two reckless challenges, leaving United to play the second half with 10 men. His leadership is now under question, with pundits suggesting he may not be the right captain for a struggling United side.
> “Cost his team… Stupid would be an understatement,” the match report noted.

2. **Rasmus Højlund’s Struggles**
Despite being reinstated to the starting lineup, Højlund managed just 14 touches and failed to impact the game against Wolves’ statistically poor defense. Critics argue that his lack of service isn’t the sole issue, as his movement and presence have yet to justify his role as United’s main striker.
> “Offered absolutely nothing… Cut a frustrated figure.”

3. **Defensive and Midfield Concerns**
The defense once again failed to keep a clean sheet, conceding directly from a corner for the second time in a week. While Noussair Mazraoui stood out as United’s best performer with a 6.5 rating, others, like Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo, struggled to impose themselves in midfield.

4. **Amorim’s Challenges**
Manager Rúben Amorim faces mounting pressure to address these individual and collective issues. With pundits calling for bold decisions, including potentially parting ways with Fernandes and Højlund, the Portuguese manager must make tough choices to turn United’s season around.

### Next Steps:
United’s upcoming fixtures against Newcastle and Liverpool are pivotal, both for the team’s league position and Amorim’s tenure. With the January transfer window approaching, significant changes—whether tactical or personnel-based—seem increasingly likely.
