The 21st round of the Premier League ushered in a showdown between Manchester United and Wolves. The result of this game can be said to be both unexpected and unexpected, compared to Manchester United has always been a well-known veteran giant, and Wolves are only the middle and lower class teams in the Premier League, who subconsciously thinks that Wolves can play Manchester United?
Unfortunately, it was so brutal that Wolves beat United 1-0 without bloodshed, and the best player in the Manchester United squad was Flying General Phil Jones, who had been away from the starter for two years. Suddenly, the scene becomes more ironic, where do these players who have been in the main position for many years have the face to deliver such a performance?
Against Wolves, some people may comment: it must be Ronaldo's pot, he is not very good at scoring, how come he has not even scored a goal for Manchester United? But is this really the case?
The combination of C Ronaldo and Cavani, who are over 70 years old combined, has become the most preferred choice for Manchester United in the last two games, and they can squeeze out Rashford and others naturally have their own prominence, and what we can see in this game is that the two forward players at the front did not receive much pass from the rear, but on the contrary, they also needed to waste their energy to retreat frequently to help the midfielder.
The two players who were supposed to be charging were going to return to the rear to support, and the problem can be imagined: it is not that they cannot seize the opportunity, but that no one has created it at all.
Even after two years of skipping the starting line-up, Phil Jones is still the desperate three-man who desperately pays for the team, risking injury in the final stages of the game to win a free kick opportunity for Manchester United. Varane's newcomer, aside, can maguire be trusted in his recent performance? No, Lonnick chose to trust Phil Jones, and the players immediately gave feedback. Even if he is not the strongest, he must be the most fighting on the field, perhaps this is called the Red Devil Spirit.
There's a lack of something like this in The Manchester United squad right now, specifically, they need a leader. Cristiano Ronaldo has just returned, his seniority is not convincing, Marcus Rashford's DNA is enough but his strength is embarrassing, and Manchester United do not have a captain-level player who can really lead the team forward. Coaching is important, but it is certainly not a solution to the root causes, to put it mildly, now replaced by Lonnick's record is even worse than the previous Ole Gunnar Solskjaer! The coach is just a man with a back to the pot, and the problems that Manchester United really have to solve do are not known how many more.
