Manchester United 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: 5 Talking Points & Tactical analysis | Premier League 2019/20

5. What does this result mean for United?

Daniel James made his first start for United

Manchester United were by no means at their free-flowing best and didn’t turn up with the most eye-catching display, but, considering their dismal record against Wolves, a draw can be considered as a positive result. Add to that the fact that this ground is a tough place to get a good result and it seems like a decent outcome, albeit there still remains a lot of room for improvement for the Red Devils.

The fluidity in the attacking play is still lacking and better chance creation would be expected from a quality group of individuals. Defensively, they looked assured except the last half-an-hour in the game when their defending looked jittery on the counter-attack.

Rashford had a game to forget as his decision making constantly let him down while making his first start for the club, Daniel James looked promising and showcased persistence, drive and an eagerness to put in a shift for his team. However, his end-product in the final third was disappointing and needs to be worked on. Young Mason Greenwood made a late substitute appearance and will hope to play a bigger role in the upcoming fixtures.
