""The lads are very disappointed," he said in the aftermath of a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Wolves. "We expect better." Certainly, the United fans who booed their team off at full-time expect better. This was a Wolves side who had lost 11 successive league games before Tuesday and remain on course to eclipse Derby County as the worst Premier League team ever."
""I'm really confident," said Amorim when asked how he felt as he approached the new year. "We just need to recover all the players. "I don't know what is going to happen until the end of the season. Then we will make the resume of the season. "But I'm really confident when we recover all the players we are going to be a strong team. There is no doubts in my mind.""
"These were the same fans who bellowed the traditional United chant of "attack, attack, attack" in the second half as they watched their team struggle to create chances, then saw head coach Ruben Amorim replace one central defender in Ayden Heaven, with another in Leny Yoro, 15 minutes from time. Teenage forwards Chido Obi and Shea Lacey, admittedly raw and untested, remained on the bench."
Manchester United produced a disappointing 1-1 home draw with Wolves that left players and supporters frustrated and booing at full-time. Wolves earned their first point since early October after 11 successive league defeats. United struggled to create chances while fans chanted for attack and the coach made defensive substitutions, leaving teenage forwards on the bench. Recent home form has been poor with losses and disappointing draws despite a Boxing Day win over Newcastle. United finish 2025 sixth on goal difference and can drop no lower than seventh this match round. The head coach expressed confidence that recovering absent players will strengthen the team. A long list of absentees includes Mason Mount.
