On January 4, Beijing time, Manchester United, sitting at home, collapsed, and Wolves scored the only goal of the game in the 81st minute, taking away the victory away from home.
It was also Wolves' first away win over Manchester United in 42 years, and the final whistle sounded and the whole team celebrated wildly.
It was United's first defeat in seven rounds of the Premier League and the first defeat led by Lonnick.
3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, Ronnick's Manchester United results look good?
Careful tasting, there are many problems.
Eyes return to the game against Wolves. It is understandable that a team on a winning trajectory will not easily change their squad, after all, Guardiola's change of squad in the Champions League final will not be the focus of heated discussion.
But Wolves aren't Burnley, nor Newcastle and Norwich. In the past three games, Manchester United's opponents have happened to be teams in the relegation zone, and the play has not been particularly smooth.
With wolves' turn in the middle, Lonnick could actually change the starting line-up. It's clear that Wolves have better technique at their feet. But Lonnick responded to change with the same.
The 4-2-2-2 formation worked out at the opening, with Wolves dominating the attack and United defending with all their might. In just 18 minutes of the opening, Wolves had already made eight shots on goal, compared to United.com.
Wolves' players used skillful dribbling to tear apart United's defence again and again, and Manchester United's front goal was buzzing.
And when it was Manchester United's turn to control the ball, the problem also arose. McTominay, who performed extremely well in the last game, did not move as often as Wolves players, and suffered a series of steals. Looking at the two flanks again, Sancho and Greenwood's presence in the first half was rather low.
Objectively speaking, in terms of foot technology, Manchester United lost to Wolves. Bordens, Moutinho, Neves... Wolves' feet are extremely fast, and Varane and Matic are even slightly clumsy in comparison.
Throughout the first half, shots were 4-15 on goal and 0-6 from corners, and United were all behind.
It has to be said that Lonnick still found the crux of the problem: that is, in the face of a technical team like Wolves, the shortcomings of 4-2-2-2 are undoubtedly revealed. It is clear that United lack an offensive and defensive hub in midfield, a lack of players who can control the ball.
In the 59th minute, Ronnick corrected the error and replaced it with a technical B fee. United quickly got consecutive chances, which was also the best 5 minutes of the whole game.
B Fei's shot hit the crossbar, and then B Fei's free kick caused Ronaldo to score, but it was blown off because of offside.
Wolves coach Ragage's adjustment was perfect, and Traore's appearance allowed United's left side of the defence to be almost pierced.
Luke Shaw has a strong body to play against Traore, but is clearly at a disadvantage in speed. Nemanja Matic came to support, and he could only pay the price of a yellow card.
Wolves' goal also came from the threat posed by Traore's pass, and Moutinho's fatal blow.
Although Wolves are not as good as Manchester United on paper, Manchester United did not lose at home. Looking at the statistics of the whole game, Manchester United shot 9-19 on goal, shot 2-6 on target, and fell behind 3-8 from a corner.
Looking at Ronaldo's performance, whoscored gave Ronaldo a score of 6.3, only higher than Sancho and Luke Shaw in the starting lineup.
This is also the true reflection of C Ronaldo's entire scene.
Maguire was absent, and Ronaldo put on the captain's armband. His running on the pitch was still relatively positive, but apart from that offside goal and two passes on the flanks in the second half, Ronaldo didn't have much of a bright performance on the offensive end.
Greenwood is more inclined to personal breakthroughs, and it is no secret that he and Ronaldo have no chemistry. Even the commentator said that C Ronaldo needed a B fee and a player who gave him assists.
C Luo, who has no "help", has obviously reduced its role.
Finally, to evaluate Lonnick, Zhan Jun's comment is: "Playing really not as well as Carrick's agent period, the formation and personnel arrangement of 424 are not suitable for this group of players, and it is too late to replace Bruno..."
Zhan Jun believes that Manchester United's best performance is De Gea and Phil Jones, and Phil Jones, who has not seen him in two years, got the highest score of 7.2 points for Manchester United, which is enough to show that Manchester United is tight in the whole game.
After Lonnick took office, The spirit of Manchester United has indeed improved significantly, which must be acknowledged. At the same time, he also reused Sancho and Darot to stimulate McTominay's offensive energy, which is worth affirming.
However, Lonnick's five Premier League games in charge of Manchester United, apart from the three goals scored in the last round against Burnley, the remaining two were 1-0, against Crystal Palace in the bottom half, and the penultimate Norwich!
Lonnick's only Premier League draw came from Newcastle, which drew second-to-last away from home, and it was not too much to describe that game as "picking up a point".
Today, against a slightly stronger Wolves, United are completely suppressed at home. 5 games, 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, only one goal more than one.
Will Lonnick lead this Manchester United team to the top four of the final table? Is Lonnick's ability suitable for Manchester United?
