Wolves are at the bottom of the table, having not won any match since the beginning of the season. However, they had a point to leave Old Trafford when they drew 1-1 with Man United. The Red Devils took the lead thanks to Joshua Zirkzee, but then the away team equalized thanks to a goal from Ladislav Krejci.
We had difficulty throughout the match. We lacked creativity but we knew that this would be a different match compared to the match against Newcastle. We also had another source of energy throughout the match. Looking at the 90 minutes, we had opportunities but the clarity was not guaranteed because of the lack of connection between the players," coach Ruben Amorim said.
According to the Portuguese strategist, Man United had a poor performance, and their ability to create opportunities also faced many limitations. Man United used 3 forwards in the starting lineup with the goal of increasing attacking power, but that was not effective.
In addition, according to Amorim, Man United players lack imagination and creativity when playing against an opponent with a deep defense like Wolves. He added: "The players tried. We didn't play well, and when you don't play well with the ball, you will have difficulty even when you don't have the ball. We need to regain form and move towards the next match.
This draw caused Man United to miss the opportunity to enter the Top 4. Statistics show that Man United has currently drawn 5 of their last 7 Premier League matches when they scored first (won 2) and only won 52% of the matches under Ruben Amorim when leading 1-0 (11/21 matches).
In addition to the results, what disappointed Man United fans was Amorim returning to using a 3-center-back formation in the match against Wolves. Previously, he had made tactical adjustments and helped Man United win against Newcastle 1-0.
According to English football experts, Man United's return to the 3-center-back formation is a "regression", affecting the team's performance.
In the next match in the Premier League, Man United will meet Leeds United away from home.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
