Manchester United concede straight from a corner kick for the second time in a WEEK – as Rio Ferdinand posts cryptic two-word social media message

Manchester United have conceded straight from a corner kick for the second time in a single week as Ruben Amorim’s side suffered a second-half blow on Boxing Day. 

The visitors conceded straight from the set-piece as Matheus Cunha’s effort sailed straight into the back of the net, beyond Andre Onana. 

It was a double blow in quick succession, with captain Bruno Fernandes sent off for a second yellow card just 10 minutes prior. 

The ball was crossed in from the defensive right hand side, and with Onana stood on the line in the centre of the goal, he was unable to divert the cross. 

There was a suggestion that the goalkeeper had been fouled, with the Cameroonian star making straight for the referee, but there appeared to be no indication of foul play. 

Shortly after the calamitous error, former Man United legend Rio Ferdinand took to social media to seemingly make his opinions on the matter known.  

The United goalkeeper was beaten by the ball, which flew over the line just beneath the bar

‘No comment,’ the ex-central defender wrote on X, as his old side once again struggled with set-pieces. 

Cunha’s strike came at a point in which the visitors had just been reduced to 10, and the Wolves star later turned provider to assist Hwang Hee-chan’s goal in the 99th minute, to put the result beyond any doubt. 

At the point that Cunha’s ball entered Onana’s airspace, there were two Wolves attackers in close vicinity to the goalkeeper, who was cleverly isolated from the rest of his defence. 

It was a third consecutive defeat for the visitors in all competitions, following a 3-0 drubbing by Bournemouth last weekend and a 4-3 loss at Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.
