Manchester United have a 7-day adjustment time after losing 1-0 at home to Wolves, and then continue to sit at home to face Villa on January 16, which is an FA Cup match, in the case of basically no league title this season, the team is more reliable to compete for the FA Cup title trophy, so Lonnick will also hope to win all three points on Villa, so that he can advance to the next round of the FA Cup. Manchester United can also improve morale, but also reduce the outside world's doubts, recent news said that The whole team of Manchester United has some negative impact, can not adapt to the new coach's tactical philosophy and some other decisions, so the locker room out of control also needs to be avoided as much as possible.
Manchester United's new coach took over the team in the middle of this season after achieving a record of 3 wins and 1 draw, this round of competition to eat the first defeat, his honeymoon period with Manchester United is indeed some short, and then need more planning and reflection, coaching the Premier League giants is not a very simple thing, the manager and the team also need some time to run in place, after all, not all new coaches are Tuchel. United's subsequent fixtures are Against West Ham, Burnley, Southampton and Leeds United, followed by a life-and-death battle in the Champions League against Atletico, so the new manager needs to adjust the team in these league games to improve the offensive efficiency of the players to win in the Champions League, and the club's top management should pay more attention to the Champions League record.
After the end of this round of the league, Manchester United ranked seventh with 31 points in 19 rounds of the league, 22 points less than Manchester City at the top of the table, although the team has two rounds less, but there is also a 16-point gap in the win of the make-up match, which is also unable to touch the championship trophy, so more focus on cup games is the right decision. Manchester United are currently four points behind Arsenal in fourth place, and if they win the make-up game, there is still a chance to compete for the top four positions, so the Red Devils cannot lose points in subsequent league matches, otherwise next season's Champions League qualification is dangerous.
Ronaldo did not get enough support in United's defeat to Wolves, and it is a pity that B Fei missed a good opportunity. The rest of the team didn't come forward at key moments, so there was a certain inevitability of losing. What is even more worth reflecting on is that Manchester United did not have an absolute advantage in the first half of the game against Wolves, but the opponent repeatedly threatened the goal, which is puzzling. Wolves' corner kicks in the first half were 8-3 and their possession rate was 54% to 45%, which is also a rare data for strong and weak opponents.
Wolves shot 6 of 19 shots on target in the whole game, and Manchester United only had 9 shots on goal and 2 shots on target, and the loss was indeed not surprising. It is rare for C Ronaldo and B Fee to be depressed at the same time, and Wolves have played a very targeted battle, and the manager's operation is higher than that of his opponents. Wolves have not scored many points on strong teams this season, the team has 0-1 Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, and then drew 0-0 with Chelsea, taking Manchester United is the first time to win against a strong team, but the team is only a small loss of the strong team also reflects resilience and defensive skills.
De Gea was the most consistent player in the game, he saved the very threatening shots of Bodens and Neves, it was indeed a chance for the team to defeat the opponent in the second half, unfortunately B Fei shot hit the crossbar, C Ronaldo's goal was offside, so the team ultimately failed to score. Defensive players missed goals at key moments, and at the end of the game Moutinho scored with no one around to defend, so he could easily hit and help the team get precious three points. Wolves finished eighth in the league with 28 points, three points less than Manchester United, and could be replaced at any time.
It is worth mentioning the match against Wolves, the Manchester United manager used the lineup of the last round of the league, only sent Jones to start, he replaced Maguire, the veteran has not played for a long time, the manager only has some light opponents, but also because the team can not play more players, the veteran has become the only player who can be used. Unfortunately, Jones has been very solid most of the time, but the only goal he conceded was also a direct shot after he was scored by his opponent not far from the box, and the veteran has become one of the main reasons for the loss. Although Jones did not get a low score in the post-match rating, he was ultimately responsible for conceding the goal and the hidden danger of Manchester United in the future. Interestingly, after the game, many celebrities said that Jones performed well, as if conceding a goal at the end was not the focus, which is also intriguing.
At present, Manchester United still need to adapt to the tactical concept of the new manager and meet the requirements of the manager as soon as possible, so that it is possible to achieve a better record, fortunately, the team's subsequent fixtures are not devilish, the manager has time to put the team in place, and if he sprints at the end of the season, he can also qualify for the Champions League. At the moment most players think the atmosphere in the team is bad, and the players who are currently looking to leave the team are Martial, Cavani, Van de Beek, Dean Henderson, Mata and Lingard, so there are internal problems in the dressing room. The lack of a reasonable rotation of players by the manager from outside has also become a major reason for the dissent of players who do not have time to play.
Before and after the class, the coach did not point out some problematic players in the team, or the culprits who caused him to leave the class. Today's new coach also did not do this, after the winter transfer window opens, who will leave the team can give the answer, although the new coach is a transitional manager, but also need to send some unwanted players for the successor, which is also conducive to the club to include stronger new signings, while opening a new era.
United's next opponent Villa is currently 13th, nine points less than the Red Devils, with 2 wins and 3 losses in their last five games, losing to Chelsea and Liverpool and Brentford during the period, and the team has some ability to win Norwich and Leicester City. Villa have been double-killed by Chelsea 0-3 and 1-3 this season, in addition to 1-0 Manchester United, 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur, 1-3 Arsenal, 1-2 defeat to Manchester City, the only points scored is against Manchester United, so the Red Devils need to complete the revenge next. Because it is an FA Cup match, the Manchester United manager may also make some rotations, and the possibility of the team winning the game is relatively large, because Manchester United cannot afford to lose.
