Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim revealed that their game against Wolves became harder after Bruno Fernandes’ red card.
Fernandes picked up his second booking a minute after the restart, resulting in a red card, on Thursday, December 26, 2024.
The Portugal midfielder has become the first United player in the last decade to be sent off three times across all competitions in a single season.
The 30-year-old was shown a red card during their 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur,. However, that decision was eventually overturned.
Fernandes was also sent off as United drew 3-3 with FC Porto in the Europa League.
Manuel Ugarte will also miss the game against Newcastle, as he picked up his fifth yellow card of this season.
Amorim said: “Of course, when we lose, when we don’t win, it’s a step back. It was really hard with the sending off. The goal was similar to the one against Tottenham. Then, we tried. Even with one less player, we tried, and I think we were close to something, but then Wolves scored the second goal. Then, in the end, we tried everything, and the transition made it 2-0.”
The result leaves United in 14th place after 18 matches.
