The game was also the first defeat Ronnick had swallowed since he took charge of Manchester United. Since officially taking over, the German coach has led the team to a good record of 3 wins and 2 draws. Before the game, the practice of pressing the B fee on the bench caused a lot of controversy among fans, and Lonnick gave his own explanation in advance, "It is a difficult decision to let the B fee substitute. But we played well against Burnley, so we maintained the same formation as the last game. However, in the first half, Manchester United had a disconnect in the middle and back, and the conversion efficiency was extremely low, and Lonnick still waited for the 60th minute to make a substitution adjustment, which also indirectly led to The United's loss.
Wolves are back in 8th place in the latest Premier League table, while Manchester United are still in 7th place, four points behind the Champions League with one less game.
