3 reasons why Manchester United drew 1-1 with Wolverhampton

#1 Frontline needs a shuffle

Manchester United v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League

Romelu Lukaku was far from his best. He missed the goal from 6 yards out after Pogba whipped in a beauty from the left flank towards the business end of the game. Fortunately for him, he was flagged offside and the goal wouldn't have counted. But United fans would be worried. While he has scored 4 goals this season, he has missed a few sitters and it really is starting to be a cause of concern.

Alexis Sanchez is desperate to get going but the curse of the United no.7 kit seems to be wearing him down. He just doesn't seem to fit into United's dynamic upfront. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford need to be given chances now as Sanchez is offering nothing of note in attack.

Lingard was all lungs once again and even tested the keeper from range. He combines well with Pogba and Fred but is lacking the quality in the final third to split open defences with his passing.
