Wolves have no support, including Molineux
With Nuno Santo no longer on the coaching bench, the "Wolves" have lost their vision. The 2019-20 season is perhaps the most sublime time for Wolves. They have weakened recently and now could start a downward trend. The two opening matches lost both and now have to welcome one of the candidates for the championship.
If we say Wolves are now an average team, it will be quite difficult to face when in the first 2 matches of the season, they meet teams that can compete for the Top 4 like Leicester or Tottenham. However, failing to create a surprise against these opponents has raised many doubts about Traore and his teammates being able to gain points against the reigning runner-up Manchester United.
The match against Spurs showed that Wolves were very poor at taking advantage of opportunities. They have scored 26 times but only hit 5 (less than 20%). Facing a team with a stronger defensive system like M.U (most likely Varane starting), it is unclear how many shots Wolves will have and how to take advantage of them?
Returning to Molineux but showing no signs of overcoming their weaknesses, the "Wolves" could fall into the same situation as Arsenal when opening the first 3 matches of the season with 0 points and 0 goals.
Manchester United need to create momentum to wait for Ronaldo
M.U just had a hard time against Southampton and could not earn all 6 points after 2 matches. However, with Liverpool and Chelsea holding each other to a draw in this round, as long as they beat Wolves by a large margin, the "Red Devils" will rise to the top of the table.
This is important for the spirit of Man United players because they all seemed excited from the night of August 27 until now when they heard the news of Ronaldo's return. A top spot in the group with a good mentality to welcome CR7 from round 4 will be the perfect scenario.
The problems in the match against Southampton have been analyzed and acknowledged. Ole understands that the variation in the current diagram is not yet available. Fred or McTominay? That is a question that needs to be answered before tonight's start. Manchester United have determined the future of the midfield role as these two stars, but how to coordinate them or improve something to avoid falling into deadlocked minutes, Ole will have to have the answer tonight.
Not to mention Ronaldo, the victory at Molineux tonight is also of great significance in the championship race. M.U was left out by Man City last season when he occasionally lost points in the match, which is very confusing. The draw with Southampton in the previous round will be a valuable lesson for everyone not to waste the opportunity.
The match between Wolves and Man United will take place at 22:30 on August 29 (Vietnam time), live on K+.
