Overview
- Ruben Amorim confirmed Manchester United will no longer be tied to a back three after deploying a back four in the 1-0 win at Newcastle.
- He explained he delayed any switch earlier to avoid players thinking he was yielding to media demands, which he said would be "the end" for a manager.
- Bruno Fernandes remains out with a hamstring injury and will not face Wolves on Tuesday.
- Amorim cited injuries and Africa Cup of Nations absences as reasons for adapting, with seven senior players unavailable for the Wolves match.
- United had only two wins in eight before the Newcastle victory and now sit about three points off the Champions League places, with Wolves bottom and winless after 18 league games.
