Van Dijk: I can have several more years at top​​

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim called for side to be more aggressive following their 2-0 defeat to Wolves on Thursday.

The result marked United’s third straight loss and means the club have won just two of Amorim’s eight Premier League games in charge.

United were dealt a blow when captain Bruno Fernandes saw red two minutes shortly after half-time before Matheus Cunha scored directly from a corner to send Wolves ahead, with Hwang Hee-Chan doubling the lead in the final moments of the game.

“We have to improve the relationships, but we have some moments,” Amorim told Amazon Prime after the game.

“We lack a little bit of aggression, but we don’t train. We just play and try to find a better way to win games and that’s it. We can’t control the games like the other ones that we lost. I think we were always in control of the game, not always dominating, but in control of some things, some set-pieces. The sending off was really hard for us.”

United’s struggles have continued under Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag in November, with the side earning just four wins in all competitions.

According to ESPN Global Research, it is the first time that United have lost three straight games in all competitions since September 2023.

Cole Palmer set a new mark for most Premier League goals in a calendar year for Chelsea after giving his team the lead against Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.

The England international wriggled away from three defenders before calmly slotting past Bernd Leno for his 26th league goal of 2024. It ended up being in vain, however, as Fulham came back to win 2-1 via a last-gasp Rodrigo Muniz goal.

That took him past Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s previous record of 25 set in 2001. Hasselbaink was on hand to witness Palmer’s goal, working as a pundit for Amazon Prime Video’s coverage of the west London derby.

“The boy deserves it,” Hasselbaink said. “This has been standing for a long, long time, and it’s time now that it is gone. There is no better player than Palmer to do that.”

Palmer has been integral in Chelsea’s excellent form under Enzo Maresca in the 2024-25 season. He now has 12 goals and six assists this term as the team sit second in the league, behind only Liverpool.

The former Manchester City forward has 51 goal contributions in 51 appearances in all competitions since making his move to the Blues in August 2023.
