Former Manchester United star Owen Hargreaves has criticised Ruben Amorim for rotating his players too much and warned the Red Devils they are ‘in a relegation battle’.
Amorim has had a tough start to life at Old Trafford, with Man Utd losing their last three games and conceding nine goals in the process. The defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday was particularly damning, as the West Midlands outfit have had a poor campaign so far but caused United all sorts of problems in a famous home win at Molineux.
Bruno Fernandes was sent off in the 47th minute after picking up two yellow cards, which gave Wolves the advantage. Matheus Cunha then scored from the corner spot as United goalkeeper Andre Onana was crowded out in the six-yard box, with Hwang Hee-chan later adding a second goal in stoppage time to make sure of Wolves’ victory.
Following the result, which leaves United 14th in the Premier League, Amorim admitted managers – especially those at Old Trafford – are always ‘in danger’. He added that United are in a ‘really hard’ moment as their fans want them to start winning as soon as possible.
Hargreaves has questioned why Amorim makes so many changes each week and claimed United would struggle to get a point ‘anywhere’ right now.
“I saw it coming before the game,” the pundit said (via Football365). “As soon as I saw the team, I said this won’t be easy. And it wasn’t. They don’t create any sense of play, they don’t look like scoring.
