US Edition“Ruben, Why Have You Done that” - Gary Neville Accuses Amorim of Taking Manchester United ‘Backwards’ with Decision in Wolves Draw
Amorim’s choice to revert to a three-man defense and make cautious substitutions drew fan frustration as Manchester United settled for a draw against Wolves with a fortunate goal.
- On Tuesday, Manchester United drew 1-1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford, prompting jeers from the Stretford End after failing to beat Wolves despite their poor recent form.
- After Boxing Day, Amorim reverted to a three-man defence and made defence-first substitutions, bringing Leny Yoro on for Ayden Heaven, which critics labelled a "safety-first" approach eroding fan trust.
- Senne Lammens produced key saves, including from Hugo Bueno and Ladislav Krejci's corner, while United's attacks lacked quality and Patrick Dorgu's late goal was ruled marginally offside.
- Pundits including Gary Neville and Paul Scholes criticised Amorim's tactics, with Neville saying the back three cost United two points and challenging Amorim's media pressure excuse.
- The result mirrored a Molineux pattern from three weeks ago when Wolves equalised just before half-time, while a year to the day, Joshua Zirkzee's 33-minute substitution recalled early confidence issues as United tries to build identity.
