The 1-0 defeat of Manchester United against Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday was a tough origin after the highlights of the dramatic Europa League victory on Thursday at Lyon. Ruben Amorim played his silk – but the poor performance emphasized seasonal problems and alarming statistics …
It is officially the worst Premier League season of Man Utd
She leaves the loss of Man Utd against Wolves at 38 points with six games to play.
Even if they win their last games, they will not be able to surpass the 58 points with which they ended in 2021/22 when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick were at the helm.
Another unwanted record for man utd …
This season it was songs 15 in the Premier League on Sunday in front of Ruben Amorim.
That is also a new record – that the 14 Premier League losses they had under Erik ten Hag last season.
Another defeat at Old Trafford for Man Utd
It is generally 15 losses, but the defeat against Wolves means that United has now lost eight Premier League matches this season, their most defeats at Old Trafford in a competition campaign since 1962/63 (when they lost nine).
Toothless United Mission again
After the Wolves match, Amorim said: “If you don't score goals, you don't win games”. I can't argue about that.
United did not score in nine of his 22 Premier League matches that are in charge. Only relegation-bound Leicester have drawn more spaces during that period.
Hojlund's miserable run continues
Amorim insisted that lack of target threat is a “team problem”, but £ 64 million striker Rasmus Hojlund inevitably focuses on such days.
The Danish striker, who worked against Wolves without success, started this season 31 of the MAN UTD matches as their most important striker and has six goals to show it – and only one this calendar year.
It is a goal in his last 28 games for Man Utd now for him.
Attack, attack, attack!
Hojlund can in his defense indicate a pretty bad stock that he has had this season.
During the term of office of Amorim, only Bruno Fernandes is in the Top 50 Premier League players in terms of their expected goals in total.
Man Utd is in the upper half for crosses, submissions in the fine, opposition box raccons and passes under Amorim in the last third.
It is the last ball that is missing or someone to come to the end.
And if you can't score … don't admit
Amorim's man utd -side is comfortable the most seemed like every iteration since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club 12 years ago.
By admitting more than 1.5 goals that a match even places him for Rangnick's sad interim regime in 2022, she only makes their struggles for the goal more pronounced.
Since the arrival of Amorim, United has only admitted two more goals than Tottenham and since that time it has not surprisingly the fifth-strict goal difference in the competition.
Pereira shows what impact can have in the mid -season
Middle season in a job with a team out of shape, little confidence and fighting problems around the club is not easy. Amorim certainly had difficulty. But his fellow countryman Vorror Pereira has shown that teams can be revived.
Since his first match on December 22, only Liverpool (40 – before their match with Leicester), Arsenal (33), Newcastle (33) and Manchester City (31) have won more Premier League points than Wolves '29. She sets that total with Champions League -Chasing Aston Villa.
And it is still 13 points than Manchester United at the time.
Amorim's new normal?
After the joy of Thursday's dramatic victory over Lyon, Amorim cut a much more depressed figure on Sunday afternoon. “These days are really disappointing,” he said.
But unfortunately for the Portuguese, they are feelings such as those that occur more often than the joy of victory.
Amorim has lost 11 of his 22 Premier League matches that are responsible for United (W6 D5). Those are just as many defeats as he suffered from his last 114 league matches with Sporting CP.
The dependence on man utd on bruno underlines
Bruno Fernandes came in for some stick this season. When the man from the man Utd he is often for the media after bad performances – and then he was criticized that he should do more on the field.
But against wolves we caught a glimpse of what male utd would be without their most important man. The answer was pretty underwhelming.
Immediately after his arrival as a sub in the second half, he injected a goal for their game, so that a movement should be collected that should have scored Hojlund and then had his own chance of target.
United has not succeeded in winning each of their last six league games without the midfielder in the starting line-up (D1 L5).
