VIDEO: Ruben Amorim coldly BLANKS Bruno Fernandes after Man Utd star's third red card of the season in Wolves defeat

After a humbling 3-0 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford, United entered the Wolves game aiming to restore faith among their fans. Despite their ambitions, the match remained goalless at halftime, with both teams struggling to find a breakthrough. The second half, however, spiralled into a disaster for United. Bruno Fernandes, wearing the captain's armband, was shown a second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Nelson Semedo, leaving his team a man down. Referee Michael Oliver, with VAR’s backing, dismissed Fernandes despite his protests, further weakening United’s resolve.

This isn’t the first time Amorim has made his feelings clear through such gestures as in a previous match, Marcus Rashford was similarly blanked when substituted.

United’s travelling supporters, known for their unwavering loyalty, were left bitterly disappointed by the team’s lacklustre performance. Many fans exited the stadium before the final whistle, leaving only a scattering of supporters in the away section to witness the players’ half-hearted attempts to apologise for the loss.

Amorim now faces the daunting task of salvaging United’s season. With an in-form Newcastle United set to visit Old Trafford on Monday, the team must regroup quickly to avoid further damage. Newcastle’s recent performances have them flying high, and United will need to deliver a much-improved display to stand a chance against Eddie Howe’s side.
