Man Utd Concede from Corner Again as Fans Slam Onana in 2-0 Defeat to Wolves

Man Utd Concede Directly from Corner for 2nd Time This Season, Fans Turn on Onana

Manchester United's defensive woes continued in their 2-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on December 26, 2024, as they conceded a goal directly from a corner for the second time this season. This latest error has led to growing frustration among fans, who have voiced their displeasure with goalkeeper André Onana's performance.

The pivotal moment came early in the second half when Matheus Cunha's corner kick sailed past Onana, who failed to react in time, allowing the ball to land in the net. This mistake was a further reflection of United's ongoing struggle to defend set-pieces, a concern that has plagued them throughout the season.

The match also saw United captain Bruno Fernandes receive a second yellow card, resulting in his dismissal and leaving the team with a numerical disadvantage. In stoppage time, Wolves sealed their victory with a goal from Hwang Hee-chan, further deepening United's misery.

Manager Ruben Amorim now faces increased pressure as the team's defensive frailties continue to undermine their performance. Fans have expressed their frustration, with many turning on Onana, questioning his ability to lead the defense.

This defeat leaves Manchester United in 14th place in the Premier League, just eight points above the relegation zone, with 22 points from 18 games. The result highlights the urgent need for improvement, particularly in set-piece defense, as United's season continues to unravel.

With their next fixture looming, United must address their defensive issues if they hope to turn things around and avoid further damage to their league standing.
