“The thing is it’s early in the season, we need to find stability, we need to find a formation, we need to get results.”
Nunez’s blushes were spared, however, when Ryan Gravenberch broke the deadlock after 44 minutes following an error from Union goalkeeper Anthony Moris to give them a half-time lead.
