United have only lost one goal in this game, thanks to goalkeeper De Gea for his excellent performance. Wolves were very proactive in this away game, with 15 shots on goal in the first half and 19 shots on goal. Wolves have won at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium for the first time since 1980, after visiting Dream Theatre 10 times in the league, but drew 3 and lost 7.
In this game, due to the absence of captain Maguire, Lonnick appointed Ronaldo as the captain of the team. However, Former United captain Ince disagreed with Lonnick's decision, saying: "If it were me, I would have given the captain's armband to McTominay. The choice of a captain should be based on the performance of the player on the field. McTominay is 25 years old and it will be a very good process for him to learn from the experience. ”
"Why give the captain's armband to C Luo?" Every time Manchester United loses, people are always complaining about the way Cristiano Ronaldo left the field. I think in terms of Scott McTominay's performance, we should give him the captain's armband and let him try it, which is also to set an example for manchester United as a team. Ince said. After losing to Wolves, United are 7th in the Premier League, two points behind 6th-placed Tottenham, but one more game than Tottenham. United are four points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, but the Gunners have one more game than the Red Devils.
United will face Villa twice in a row, first at home in the FA Cup on 11 January and then away to Villa in the Premier League on 16 January. This break is also very important for Lonnick, who needs to keep United's players familiar with the 4222 formation he is used to, while taking advantage of the winter window transfer period to bring in the players he needs.
