Man United fans want one man to leave club immediately after Wolves defeat and it’s not who you’d think

Ruben Amorim’s side are now eight points clear of the relegation zone following the defeat, which also saw captain Bruno Fernandes sent off in the second half after receiving two yellow cards.

Seconds after the restart, Wolves thought they had taken the lead through Jorgen Strand Larsen, but the Norwegian striker had his goal chalked off for offside following a VAR check.

But Vitor Pereira’s side did take the lead under 10 minutes later when Matheus Cunha scored directly from a corner.

It is the second goal United have conceded directly from a corner in a week, with Son Heung-min doing likewise in Spurs’ 4-3 win over Ruben Amorim’s side in their Carabao Cup quarter-final.

While Altay Bayindir was the man between the sticks on that occasion, Andre Onana saw the ball loop over his head at Molineux – and the manner of both goals was distinctively similar.

Given the above unwanted statistic, United fans are calling for the club’s set piece coach to leave the club – but there has been some confusion over exactly who that is.

Former manager Erik ten Hag brought in Andreas Georgson from Lillestrom to become United’s new set piece coach in the summer, and he was regularly seen on the touchline during the opening games of the season before the Dutchman was sacked.

But Amorim has since brought in Carlos Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon, with the Portuguese now leading responsibilities for set pieces.

Speaking after United’s 2-0 defeat to Arsenal earlier this month, Amorim said: “The thinking is Carlos is responsible for set pieces, different stuff. Andreas is also there to help. That’s it, that’s the reason.”

Taking to social media after the goal was conceded, one United fan wrote: “Someone should ask Amorim why we aren’t improving in defending corners. We specifically brought a set piece coach for that and we were doing ok until he changed the role of the coach?”

A second asked: “Can we cast aside the set piece coach like we have Rashford and Casemiro?”

A third added: “The set piece coach has to respectfully resign at this point.”

And a fourth stated: “Amorim we will ask you questions too bro. What’s it gonna take to hand set pieces back to Andreas Georgson?”

United would eventually lose 2-0 after a late counter attack from Wolves after committing players forward, with Cunha squaring to Hwang Hee-chan for a simple finish from close range with no defenders around him.
