#2 Manchester United's defensive issues
Don't get me wrong. Smalling is playing his heart out these days. Lindelof looks to be trying his best but this inability to stand their ground when teams hit them on the counter is going to lead to a lot of goals this season. United defenders often retreat offering vast areas of space in dangerous areas and that's exactly how Wolves got their goal.
There has to be more aggression about the midfielders when they're tracking back. And it hurts to say, but Valencia offers nothing to this team other than his experience now.
He looks laboured and hardly ever goes past a defender anymore. Crosses from the right wing are a rarity. Valencia is always looking for an in-field pass and thereby forcing United narrower in the final third.
Dalot is not one for the future. He needs to get into this team right now and provide some spark on the right wing. Luke Shaw is still at it though and put in a solid performance at left-back.
