Ruben Amorim's Tactical Decision Questioned Manager Ruben Amorim faced criticism for his decision to substitute striker Joshua Zirkzee, who had scored the equalizer, during the match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. With United in need of a goal, fans and experts were puzzled by the introduction of midfielder Jack Fletcher.

Reflecting on the match, Amorim acknowledged the team's lack of offensive fluidity and coectivity, emphasizing the need to regroup and focus on the next game.
