Can someone please tell Jamie Carragher that he really doesn’t have to talk as though he is placing irreparable strain on his vocal cords.
 
Solskjaer really is stealing a living. Same old story; no cohesion, no structure. And shock horror - he plays Sancho on the wrong side to accommodate Dan James.

I’m more concerned about the lack of cover in front of the back four. Fred couldn’t manage it alone if he was a decent player, but he absolutely isn’t. But with Pogba dropping deeper they’re a man light, because he won’t do his defensive work.
 
Just seen it again and there clearly was contact. Was it a clear and obvious error by Mike Dean? Possibly not. But it balances out Bruno being flattened last week at Southampton in the build up to their goal, and that not being given.

;)
 
Sourness what an absolute joker

Foul by Pogba no doubt
A late reaction by Neves certainly not pathetic
Pathetic by Fernandes in the first half clutching his face.

Very sluggish performance by Utd especially first half but impressed by Wolves in first half.
Not many teams going to Wolves will get it easy.
Fantastic double save by DeGea
 
I don't know why they don't try VDB in that position. He had a great game playing there against Everton pre season.
What’s going on with him ? He was excellent for Ajax - I guess he needs to be next to a more defensive player ?

Certainly need someone there - Fred just not good enough

Greenwood is and excellent player , but is he going to be the one missing out when Ronaldo comes in

what we have seen is all those top 4 teams have areas that could do with strengthening

The cynic in me still thinks VDB was not a player Solskjaer wanted and his failure to give the lad a kick is his way of telling the United hierarchy who is in charge.

Not sure I agree with regards to Man Utd or Chelsea, unless it's bringing in the real top, and massively expensive, players such as Haaland, Van Dijk, De Bruyne, MBappe etc.

Where would you say that Chelsea need strengthening?

Man City would be stronger with an Aguero replacement. Liverpool could possibly do with being stronger in midfield or up front in terms of squad depth and changing things from the bench but are looking pretty good. Man Utd could possibly do with a Fred replacement but I think the manager is the real problem there. Imagine what Klopp or Pep could do with that squad of players.

Just seems a waste of a player who looks to be what’s missing - and if he wasn’t going to be played then sell him
