Key events
Amorim and his Wolves counterpart, Pereira, have a cursory handshake on the touchline. Amorim looks gutted, understandably, but then heâs out on the pitch and appears to urge his players to go and thank the fans, despite a third straight defeat.
Good evening, Luke McLaughlin here, ready to bring you reaction after the latest chapter in Manchester Unitedâs perma-crisis.
Full time: Wolves 2-0 Man Utd
Peep peep! Wolves jump out of the bottom three after a deserved victory over a moribund Manchester United. I have to dash, but Luke McLaughlin will bring you all the reaction. Goodnight!
Wolves seal it on the break. Cunha and Hwang ran from inside their own half, with only Martinez in the same postcode. He was left in the slipstream of Cunha, who drew Onana and gave the goal to Hwang.
GOAL! Wolves 2-0 Man Utd (Hwang 90+8)
Game over.
90+6 min Cunha, the player of the match by a distance, draws a foul to eat up another 30 seconds. You can see why Arsenal are apparently keen on him.
90+6 min Antonyâs deep cross finds Maguire, who tries to loop a header back across Sa from 12 yards. He doesnât get enough on it and Sa makes a comfortable save.
90+4 min The home fans arenât happy when Maguire gets away with a perceived handball on the halfway line. No matter, the resulting attack soon peters out.
90+2 min: Wolves substitutions Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Craig Dawson replace Jorgen Strand Larsen and Nelson Semedo.
90+1 min Nothing comes of the corner. Nada. Sweet bugger all.
90+1 min Blimey, there will be eight minutes of added time. Eriksenâs free-kick from the left is headed behind for a United corner. For the first time all night, Wolves are hanging on.
90 min Doherty fouls Garnacho on the left wing and is booked.
88 min Jose Sa comes a long way from his line to claim Martinezâs cross with authority.
87 min United appeal for a penalty when Maguire (I think) goes over while trying to reach Mazraouiâs cross from the right. Nothing doing, and itâs been cleared by VAR.
86 min In fact they put the wrong number on the board: itâs Rayan Ait-Nouri who is coming off.
86 min: Wolves substitution Rodrigo Gomes replaces Jorgen Strand Larsen.
85 min Eriksen and Casemiro have given United more composure on the ball and they are having their best spell of the second half. This, admittedly, isnât saying much.
84 min âA goal direct from a corner is certainly not something new,â writes Giovanni Cafagna. âFor Italians of my generation (born 1969) the name Massimo Palanca rings multiple bells and whistles. Nicknamed the OâRey of the Corner Flag, he holds the umbeaten record of 13 goals scored from a corner. Heâs also remembered for another record: he had the smallest feet recorded in Italian football, a size 37 equivalent to UK 4.5.â
Crikey, he sounds like a great subject for a Forgotten Story.
82 min Casemiroâs cross is headed onto the roof of the net by Garnacho (I think). A tricky chance, but still one of the best United have created.
81 min Eriksen loses his man on the right with a clever touch and whacks a cross towards Zirkzee in the middle. Jose Sa gets to it first and holds on.
79 min: Double substitution for Man Utd Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho replace Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo.
79 min Cunha stays down after getting a dig in the ribs from Diallo as they jumped for a loose ball.
78 min If it stays like this Man Utd will have lost four of their last five league games, the exception being the late win at the Etihad.
77 min Larsen has another goal ruled out for offside. This time he was yards beyond the defence, and he knew it.
75 min âUnitedâs strategy?â wonders Liz White.
I adore that song, although the Mokran mix is even better IMO, so please donât associate it with this rabble.
74 min: Double substitution for Wolves Hwang Hee-chan and Tommy Doyle replace Goncalo Guedes and Joao Gomes.
72 min Wolves are starting to sit on their 1-0 lead, understandable in the circumstances but also risky. Mind you, United haevnât looked like scoring all night.
70 min Antony cuts inside from the right and ripples the side netting with a low drive from 20 yards. Not a bad effort but Sa had it covered.
69 min Wolves break four on four, only for Larsen to hit a cross straight at Onana. A better ball would have given Guedes a tap-in.
68 min Antonyâs cross is headed towards goal by Casemiro and saved easily by Jose Sa.
65 min Iâm more convinced than ever that Man Utd made a big mistake by pressuring Amorim to join mid-season. He needs as much time as possible on the training ground; instead he has to watch his players haemmorhage more goodwill every few days. I suspect heâll be fine in the long run but this false start has already made next season harder than it needed to be.
63 min: Triple substitution for Man Utd Casemiro, Antony and Christian Eriksen replace Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo. Thatâll lift the average age of the side, if nothing else.
60 min That goal was coming from the moment Bruno Fernandes was sent off. Man Utdâs confidence looks shot.
He tried this in the first half as well, clipping an extravagant inswinger under the crossbar. Onana punched it away on that occasion but this time he couldnât reach the ball, under pressure from Doherty and Bueno, and the ball nestled in the far corner.
Onana thinks he was fouled by Doherty but the goal has been cleared by VAR. Iâd like to see that again as Doherty did raise his arm to jockey Onana, though probably not enough for it to be a clear and obvious error.
GOAL! Wolves 1-0 Man Utd (Cunha 58)
Matheus Cunha scores direct from a corner!
57 min Man Utd look like a team waiting to concede. Iâd be tempted to bring Garnacho on, perhaps for Hojlund, and play with him and Diallo as split strikers.
55 min Ait-Nouriâs crisp shot from the edge of the area has the sting taken out of it by Maguire and dribbles through to Onana. Itâs all Wolves now, as youâd expect given their man advantage.
54 min Ugarte is booked for delaying a Wolves restart. Heâll also miss the Newcastle game.
52 min Larsenâs first-time shot from a tight angle is beaten away by Onana, though once again he went too soon and was offside. There are chances out there for him if he can delay his runs in behind.
52 min Thatâs Fernandesâs third red card of the season, although the first (against Spurs) was later rescinded. This one means heâll miss the game against Newcastle at Old Trafford on Monday.
51 min âRadiohead. yep totally,â says Karen Asâadi. âYou could easily put âLet Downâ as a soundtrack for that first half.â
I was thinking track 9 on OK Computer rather than track 5.
50 min: No goal. Yep, Larsen went a split-second too early; a shame as it was a deft finish.
50 min Itâs still being checkedâ¦
49 min: Disallowed goal for Wolves! Semedo gets away from Dalot and whacks a cross that is headed in deftly by Larsen. And then the flag goes up for offside. Itâs being checked but I think he was ahead of the ball when Semedo played it.
Fernandes sent off!
47 min It gets worse for Man Utd. Bruno Fernandes, booked in the first half, goes in late on Nelson Semedo and receives a second yellow card. Heâs shaking his head but it wasnât a great tackle. It was overzealous rather than malicious but he did catch Semedo on the top of the foot.
46 min Matheus Cunha begins the second half for Wolves.
âIâm no tactical genius,â says Peter Oh, âbut it seems obvious to me that the weather conditions call for a fog-fog-two? Two solid banks of fog.â
Something else for half-time

Something for half-time
Half time: Wolves 0-0 Man Utd
As the wingman once said, âNot good. Not good.â (NB: clip contains a boatload of adult language.) Both teams worked hard but the only consistent quality and joie de vivre came from Matheus Cunha in the Wolves attack. It has to improve in the second half. Right?
45 min One minute of added sweat and toil.
44 min The scoreline is a fair reflection of a fairly poor first half. Wolves have been slightly more threatening in transition that United have in possession, but the xG â around 0.25 apiece â tells the story.
42 min âWhen the commentator Iâm listening to said the fog had returned to Molineux, I wasnât sure if he meant literally or figuratively,â sys Liz White. âHe also said both teams were âplaying good football, at timesâ, lol. Happy Christmas!â
The commentator clearly hasnât got the foggies- oh never mind. Anyone for Radiohead?
41 min At the other end Diallo has a shot from the edge of the area well blocked by the stretching Toti.
39 min The corner almost catches Onana out at the near post. He punches clear but Wolves come again through Semedo, whose shot from 30 yards takes a big deflection and loops towards goal. Onana scrambles desperately across and is relieved to see it swerve this far wide.
