RUBEN AMORIM is on a mission to keep crisis-hit Manchester United away from relegation as he ruled out a European finish.
The Red Devils conceded AGAIN straight from a corner for Matheus Cunha's opener – with goalkeeper Andre Onana at fault.
Then substitute Hee Chan Hwang struck in injury time in foggy Molineux.
Bruno Fernandes was sent off at 0-0 – the United captain's third dismissal of the season – for two yellow cards.
Defeat leaves United in fourteenth place – eight points above the bottom three. Asked about the prospect of relegation, Amorim said: “We just have to survive and win sometimes, to work on the team.
“We have tough games and it is a long journey. As I said on the first day: we have to continue and fight the bad moments, because this is part of football.
“If you don't have the results, it's even harder for them to believe.”
Asked about European qualification, Amorim said: “No, no, no, no.
“We have to work on a lot of things at our club, both on and off the field.
“Let's concentrate on every match and use every minute of training to improve the team.”

Onana could not keep out Cunha's corner just seven days after stand-in stopper Altay Bayindir was embarrassed by Son Heung-min in Tottenham's 4-3 Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Amorim added: “We controlled the first half, but in the final third we lacked aggression.
“At half-time we were talking in the dressing room, trying something different and then the sending off changed the game.”
Fernandes received a second yellow card for a tackle on Nelson Semedo.
Amorim said: “I am always frustrated by a red card.
“He wants to get to the ball, it's not that he wants to stop a player with a yellow card.
“The other guy touches the ball first, there's contact and that thing is tough for him too.”
Marcus Rashford was left out of the squad for the fourth game in a row and Amorim said: “It's always the same reason.
“We have to be the same professionals, win or lose.
“If I lose, I have to be stronger. I will continue with my idea until the end.”
New Wolves boss Vitor Pereira, who has won his first two games, said: “It's a fantastic feeling, especially because of the spirit of the team.
“We can see that the players are ready to suffer, run and fight for every ball.”
Wolves scorer Cunha played as the FA has yet to decide on a penalty for elbowing an Ipswich staffer earlier this month.
The Arsenal goalkeeper said: “Vitor came with a lot of energy and we feel that.
“It means a lot. In the stadium you can see how happy they are.”
