Premier League, Manchester United 1-1 Wolves: 5 players who were poor for the Red Devils

#1 Jesse Lingard

Jesse Lingard was one of the poorest performers on the night

Jesse Lingard was undoubtedly one of the poorest performers on the night. Starting in the No. 10 role, the Englishman had enough power and speed ahead of him to stretch the Wolves defence, but failed to cause too much trouble.

Lingard is usually known for his off the ball pressing, an attribute that has seen him selected for the No. 10 role ahead of better-suited players. However, he looked lethargic all night and failed to implement Solskjaer’s high press tactics.

The Englishman even had a glorious chance to double the lead early in the second half. But he scuffed his chance with the goal at his mercy. His movement and positioning in the final third also left a lot to be desired, while he contributed very little on the offensive.

Lingard did not manage even one through ball on the night, which meant that he was not much of a threat to the home defence.

The Englishman was also poor with his decision making and cost United the game. He was ultimately replaced by Juan Mata in the 81st minute, but by then, the damage was already done.
