Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim admits it will be challenging to beat Wolves, even though they’re winless in the Premier League.
United were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham at Old Trafford, a result that stopped them from breaking into the Premier League’s top five and echoed their earlier setback against Everton, where they similarly failed to take advantage of favourable circumstances.
The draw against the Irons continued a pattern of inconsistency that has defined United’s 2025/26 campaign under Amorim.
“I think it’s not a mental thing. I think they are not thinking, ‘We are going to top five’. No, no. I think it’s some moments we play good, sometimes we play bad and we are not getting the results,” said Amorim.
“I didn’t feel the team [was] anxious. I feel the environment was a little bit anxious because it’s normal, because we prove in the past when people understand that nothing is certain here, but we didn’t draw because of that. We draw because in one second ball, we have advantage, we let a corner and, in the corner, and anything can happen.
“Everything can happen [against Wolves], and that will change. There is no team in the Premier League history that didn’t win one game. So, it can be any game.
“So, we need to try to improve, to rest the players, work really well, and prepare a tough match because, with us, it’s always a tough match.”
The club sit in 12th place with 22 points from 14 matches, posting a record of six wins, four draws, and four defeats.
Their struggles to build sustained momentum have been compounded by a shock exit from the EFL Cup and an inability to convert promising positions into victory.
