Wolves 2-1 Manchester United: 5 reasons why the Red Devils lost the game | FA Cup 2018-19

#4 Not creating enough chances

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester United - FA Cup Quarter Final

United normally play with Matic as the deepest midfielder, the anchor who holds the team together and marshals the defense. Against Wolves, Solskjaer retained Herrera to a deeper role, perhaps wary of the threat possessed by the Wolves midfielders.

With two men sitting in the middle, United had a degree of security in the first half in the middle, but it hampered their attacking play. United rarely created any chances in the game and the final ball was always missing. Even though Dalot was pushed forward, the young Portuguese hardly had any impact on the game. But perhaps the biggest miss of the night was Paul Pogba.

The Frenchman looked lively at the start but had an off day on the pitch. He failed to track the forward runs of his attacking players, hardly created any chances and looked tired and uninspired. Luke Shaw did carve out a chance for Rashford to score but it was too little too late.
