Ruben Amorim stressed that Manchester United must enter survival mode after a fourth defeat in five Premier League games.
Asked whether his side had to worry about teams below them, with United in 14th place in the Premier League and just seven points clear, Amorim said: “Yes, at the moment we just have to survive and win sometimes .'
Amorim, who has now lost five of his 10 games in all competitions as United boss, added that United should forget about qualifying for European football next season.
“No, no, no, no,” he said when asked if United could be thinking about Europe. 'We have to work on many things at our club, both on and off the field.'
And Amorim insisted he has 'no idea' how long it will take for his side to improve.
'I have no idea. No idea,” Amorim said. 'Instead of me trying to understand how much time it will take, it's just day by day about improving, trying to watch videos and using every minute of training and trying to win some points because it's very important at the moment .
'The idea takes time. This will be a difficult moment. We are far from the end of this moment and that is all. We have to keep going and focus on the next game.”
United skipper Bruno Fernandes was sent off in the 47th minute for a second booking and for the second time in three games, Amorim's side conceded directly from a corner, with Matheus Cunha's inswinging corner beating Andre Onana before Hwang Hee-chan completed the match. for Wolves in stoppage time.
Vitor Pereira, who has now won his first two games in charge of Wolves since Gary O'Neil was sacked, revealed the corner was something Cunha had been working on in training.
“He (Cunha) is a top player,” Pereira said. 'He is a special player who can do things that can make a difference in the small details. We tried to exploit this inswinging angle. These things can happen with players like this.”
And the Portuguese manager admitted it was 'special' to win his first game at Molineux.
'It is a fantastic and special feeling. We can see that the players are willing to suffer and fight for each other.'
