When Manchester United beat Burnley in the last game, it is not easy to think that Manchester United is back on track and will attack the Champions League zone, and the prospects for Ronnick's coaching are also more optimistic. However, this time Manchester United's game with Wolves makes people feel that this Manchester United team is incomparably familiar, and it seems that it is no different from the previous time when Solsk was in charge. Although the loss to Wolves is the only time Manchester United has lost in the last 9 games, combined with the overall record is not bad, but the level of competition shown by Manchester United in this game is very disappointing, even desperate. In this case, it is difficult to expect more from United this season.
Ronnick continued to stick to his 4222 formation. De Gea is undoubtedly the starting goalkeeper. Wan-Bissaka, Jones, Varane and Luke Shaw are paired at 4 defenders. McTominay and Nemanja Matic have double backs. Greenwood, Sancho, Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo joined forces. Such a squad, compared to the previous win over Burnley, only made adjustments in two centre-back positions. It was bailey and maguire at the time, and Jones and Varane this time. Maguire and Bailey missed the game due to injury. The match was captained by Cristiano Ronaldo, the second time he has captained in his United career.
In this game, Manchester United can be said to have played uselessly in the first half, and was actually beaten by Wolves, you know this is at Old Trafford, such a situation is not too embarrassing. Had it not been for De Gea's repeated pokers, United would have collapsed in the first half. Wolves also did not expect to be able to play so dominant in the first half, with 15 shots on goal being the most shots made by Wolves in the Premier League away from Manchester United in the first half since Wolves had statistics. Manchester United have not been so bad at home against the strongest teams such as Manchester City and Liverpool, and the result has been so humiliating for Wolves. United were very lucky not to concede a goal in the first half.
Due to United's poor performance in the first half, not many people are expecting a performance in the second half. However, after Bruno Fernandez came off the bench, United still played a small wave of orgasm. Bruno Fernandez's shot hit the box and Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was blown offside. After missing out on goals, United suffered a heavy blow in the 82nd minute, and Moutinho scored from a distance to complete the shootout! B Fei held his head in disbelief, and C Ronaldo was also depressed, and Cavani bowed his head and said nothing. There was a dead silence in the Manchester United squad. And wolves players celebrate wildly. In the end, Manchester United lost 1-0.
De Gea was one of United's best performers, making five saves but couldn't save United. De Gea has always been one of the most exposed players in Manchester United's matches, which is a very sad thing. Ronaldo's performance was also unsatisfactory, he only had 2 shots on goal, 1 shot on target, failed to score, sent 1 key pass, did not make any attempt, and only scored 6.3 points. Such a rating is the third-to-last of United's starters. The defeat has made United's prospects for a four-place race a bit pessimistic. United are currently 31 points in 19 league games, ranking 7th, four points away from 4th-placed Arsenal. In front of Manchester United, there are also teams such as West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur.
