The Red Devils took the lead in the 27th minute with a goal from Joshua Zirkzee, but Ladislav Krejci brought his team back into parity before halftime.
Amorim admitted that his side did not create enough chances against the team at the bottom of the Premier League.
“We are in a situation where we have a lot of players missing at the same time. We had a chance to win today, but we lacked fluidity, we lacked quality and we didn’t create chances.
“Then we conceded a goal from a set piece. Details like this are important to win games in difficult situations.”

Derby County had the worst record in Premier League history in the 2007/08 season, finishing bottom of the table with just 11 points.
The draw means Wolves now have three points after 19 games and will now face fellow relegation candidates West Ham on January 3.
The Red Devils were without several key players against Wolves, including Brian Mbeumo, who is away in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes are also absent through injury, and Amorim insists things will change once their star players are back in the starting eleven.
“Of course, when you play Casemiro and[Manuel]Ugarte in midfield, you know it’s different than when you have Coby Mainu, Mason Mount and Bruno[Fernandes],” he said.
“That’s normal. So we just need to get the players and (other) players back from AFCON. Then the fluidity will be different.”
The next 12 months will be crucial for Amorim, who is under pressure to lead the team towards progress in 2025.
Despite the disappointing end to the year, he insists he remains confident.
“I’m really confident,” he added. All players must be healed. We don’t know what will happen until the end of the season. After that, we will create a resume for this season.
“But I’m really confident that if we can get all our players back, we’ll be a strong team. There’s no doubt in my mind.”
