Man Utd fans in agreement as Bruno Fernandes sent off in miserable Wolves defeat
Watch now: GB News' sports round-up
Manchester United fans have called on Ruben Amorim to put Bruno Fernandes up for sale after the midfielder's latest sending off in their defeat to Wolves on Boxing Day.
Ruben Amorim's side have had a disappointing December with defeats against Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth before Christmas.
An away trip to relegation-threatened Wolves was seen as a chance to get back on track and push back into the top 10.
But United looked cagey in the first half at the Molineux stadium with the game goalless at half-time.

And they were immediatly on the backfoot when Fernandes was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on Nelson Semedo at the start of the second half.
VAR agreed with the on-field decision with Fernandes given his marching orders and that provided Wolves with an instant bounce.
They had the ball in the back of the net just minutes later, but it was ruled out for offside.
The signs were there that a breakthrough was soon coming and it came in extremely unlikely circumstances with Matheus Cunha scoring straight from a corner-kick.
United were unable to threaten Wolves' back line with one man down as the likes of Antony, Joshua Zirkzee, Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho failed to make a difference.
Wolves eventually held on for a 1-0 win that saw them climb out of the relegation zone.
But United fell to 14th in the table and are closer to the drop zone than the top four.
Red Devils supporters felt most of the blame was with their captain and some feel the time is now for the club to cash in.
