Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim appeared to greet his players to the traveling fans 2-0 loss to Wolves today.
The Red Devils suffered a third defeat in four Premier League games at Molineux today, as it proves a huge early challenge for Amorim in his new job.
The Portuguese tactician, who took over from Erik ten Haag at the start of November, has excelled at Sporting Lisbon, but has endured early struggles in English football.
The contract may be canceled Man United star!
Still, Amorim will find a way to get through these players, and Manchester Evening News Reports say he wanted his players to face the traveling support for a full two minutes after today’s game.
How bad can things get for Manchester United?
As Fabrizio Romano points out, Amorim recently suggested a “storm” was coming, and he was proven right.

United sit 14th in the Premier League table, and while they certainly won’t be dragged into a relegation battle, they’re clearly not good enough to bounce back and challenge for a place in the top four.
Amorim will certainly be given plenty of time to turn things around at Old Trafford, but it won’t be easy and he will need the help of the club’s board.
A good January transfer window is certainly essential for United, otherwise one imagines we could indeed see this team finish in the bottom half of the table.
Wolves deserved their win today and it’s a shame for United as they haven’t been at their best this season.
United recently managed a 2-1 win away to Manchester City, but apart from that they have beaten the likes of Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.
