Ruben Amorim is no stranger to tough starts. After losing his opening two games in charge of Casa Pia in Portugal's fourth tier, the freshly retired midfielder publicly declared that he would quit if he suffered a third straight reverse.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is fully aware that his job will be in “danger” if results under him don’t improve. Defeat away at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing Day was a fourth in seven league games since the Portuguese took over from Erik ten Hag in November.

Matheus Cunha scored off an Olimpico 12 minutes later as Red Devils goalkeeper Andre Onana got caught between two Wolves attackers and failed to deal with a corner kick. Hee-chan Hwang scored off a Cunha assist in stoppage time to salt away the three points for Wolves.
