It has also piled pressure back onto Ruben Amorim and his future as head coach. Next up is a trip to a winless Wolves side who sit bottom with only two points from 14 matches.

Bryan Mbeumo’s impressive record vs Wolves
There are only two Premier League games remaining until Mbeumo departs for AFCON, leaving United without their top scorer so far this season.
Mbeumo was underwhelming against West Ham last week as United struggled in the final third, but his record against Wolves offers confidence he could return to the scoresheet.
In six meetings against Wolves, Mbeumo has scored three goals and registered five assists, averaging nearly one goal contribution each match.
Two of those three goals have come at Molineux, with his latest coming in the season finale back in May.

Bryan Mbeumo ended Brentford spell by scoring vs Wolves
Last season, Mbeumo scored 20 goals for Brentford in the Premier League in what was the most productive season of his career.
Mbeumo was a leader at Brentford, and by the time he completed his move to United he had climbed to second in the club’s all-time top scorer list.

Mbeumo scored the opening goal of the game after 20 minutes playing as a right winger – that is exactly what Amorim will want him to replicate on Monday evening.
