Competition focus
0-1！ United lost at home to Wolves, losing the league for the first time since Ronnick took charge. After this campaign, Manchester United continued to rank 7th in the league with 31 points, the Red Devils temporarily trailed Fourth Place Arsenal by 4 points, and Manchester United played one round less than Arsenal.
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal today was blown off the line, and he was very eager to score for the Red Devils, but because the team as a whole was suppressed, the president did not get many opportunities, and Ronnick's tactics did not activate Ronaldo.
Shame record! Wolves finished with 15 goals at Old Trafford in the first half, the most shots on goal in the first half of the visiting team's visit to Dream Theatre since the 2003-04 season.
Wonderful review
Due to Maguire's absence, Ronaldo wore the Manchester United captain's armband. He was replaced by Harry Maguire, his first appearance for Manchester United in 712 days.
In the 12th minute, Bordens burst into the penalty area at high speed with the ball on the left side, Jones defended slightly slower, Bodens' small angle shot was saved by De Gea, and then Neves unloaded the ball with his right foot and volleyed a fallen leaf, and De Gea made a world-class save again!
In the 17th minute, Semedo scored and Neves' right-footed long-range shot from outside the box sent the ball high. A minute later, Semedo burst into the box on the right and fired a powerful diagonal shot that De Gea sealed off. During this time, Manchester United was almost pressed by the opponent, and Ronaldo had little chance to take the ball.
In the 26th minute, Ronaldo turned around and fired a low shot from inside the penalty area without sending a force, and Sa fell to the ground to save the ball. This was Ronaldo's first goal after the opening. Wan Bissaka then inserted a cross from the right into the penalty area, but the ball was slightly higher and Ronaldo jumped up in front of the goal and did not top it.
In the second half, United took the initiative to step up their attack, and in the 51st minute, Greenwood's left-footed long-range shot from outside the area sent the ball flying. B Fee then came on to replace Greenwood. In the 67th minute, Nemanja Matic inserted an inverted triangle pass on the left and B Fee hit the frame with the attacking goal and popped up. Then B Fei's free kick crossed, C Ronaldo in front of the goal of the head of the hammer broke the net, but the ball was blown off first due to offside, from the slow motion point of view, C Ronaldo is indeed offside first.
In the 75th minute, Wolves also narrowly broke through a free kick, Seth showed off his "full moon curved knife" stunt with his left foot 24 meters away, and the ball hit the crossbar and popped up!
In the 82nd minute, Traore's cross from the right was not far from Jones' header, the unguarded Moutinho curled heavily against the ground, and the ball slid into the goal guarded by De Gea, 0-1!
The game ended, and in the end, Manchester United lost 0-1 at home to Wolves, and Ronaldo was unable to score the goal.
