After a brilliant debut against Chelsea, where he stretched the game after coming off the bench, Daniel James was selected for his first competitive start in United colours. Wolves were known to be resolute on the field, so Solskjaer aimed to use the Welshman’s speed to trouble the home side.

And James did have a bright start to the game, seeing plenty of the ball and causing the Wolves defense some worries in the opening stages.

However, he was indecisive with the ball at his feet and lacked maturity in the final third. James also picked up a yellow card for a blatant dive and had to tread cautiously for the rest of the game.

The Welshman tracked back well, helping out Aaron Wan-Bissaka whenever Wolves tried to break through the flanks.

He also won quite a few free kicks for his team. But James did not have the impact that Solskjaer would have wanted, neither did he contribute too much with the ball at his feet.
