Not a bad game of football for a monday night, free-flowing and somewhat chaotic for long periods. Wolves are a very, very good side with quality throughout. Lacking that bit of composure/decisiveness in the final third though. Oh and Nuno deserves some credit for getting Adama Traore to finally resemble a footballer.

United's main problem appears to be too many players with similar strengths all trying to do the same thing. James, Lingard, Rashford and Martial have an insane amount of pace to burn between them but often arrive in the final third not knowing who is best suited to what task. Mata came on far too late - Lingard was pretty ineffective all game and I just feel they need more creativity in that attacking line rather than simply explosive pace. Pogba can be that creative force but if you shut him down/he has a 'can't be arsed' game, their overall technique plummets.

Having said all of that, they could really do with a player like Eriksen <whistle>

Reactions: The Changing Man
So after PL week 2, of the top 6 last season everyone seems to be
playing at the same level as last, apart from Chelsky who are wobbling a bit.
