Manchester United suffered a 2-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing Day, fueling concerns about their relegation prospects. Despite playing well in patches, the Red Devils were reduced to ten men after Bruno Fernandes' second yellow card, making a comeback impossible. Manager Ruben Amorim acknowledged the team's struggles, stating their focus is on survival and building momentum. United's current eight-point lead above the relegation zone appears precarious considering their low points tally of 22 at Christmas, historically a worrying sign.
It was yet more bleak viewing for the travelling Manchester United supporters on Boxing Day as they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"I start this job and start with the team, the new idea of no time to train, a lot of games, tough games, we already knew it, it’s a long journey. Like I said in the first day, we have to continue and we have to fight these bad moments because this is part of football." As were Blackpool in their debut campaign in the top flight and they had a whopping 28 points at this stage of the season. What should be stressed is that both The Seasiders and The Royals are exceptions to the rule but United are showing similarities to all teams that eventually succumb to relegation.
As the old adage goes: 'Football is not played on paper,' but should results follow the form guide between now and the end of January, the relegation conversation will become all the more real and after the likes of; Leeds, Newcastle and Aston Villa were all relegated in recent memory, there is no argument to suggest that United are too big to follow suit.
