The less said about today’s result the better. I’m not suggesting we should be dismayed or in any way embarrassed – far from it, Wolves looked a competent side with some talented lads. What I mean is, the 5-2 scoreline masks what was actually a closely contested game played at a high tempo and in the right spirit. Unfortunately for United they were missing key players and their defence continues to make individual mistakes and then struggle to rectify them as a unit.

Saturday’s visit to Wolves is the first of 3 games in 11 days for United’s boys before they take a well earned two-week break. Having suffered a painful defeat to local rivals City last week, the boys will come into this game fresh from the experience with a new found determination to improve, it’s what a defeat like that does. The result was a useful barometer of where this team is.

For a neutral, the last two Manchester United matches have likely made for great viewing. For the United faithful, however, the entertainment value can’t be disputed, but there is a lot to be displeased about, most notably the end results. At Stoke and at home against Basel, United went into the dressing room with a halftime lead both times. And both times they returned to the dressing room, they returned having given up the lead on the way to being held to a disappointing draw.
