Wolverhampton 1-1 Manchester United: 5 Hits and Flops

#3 Flop: Daniel James

James surprisingly started and largely disappointed against a side who relished ruffling his feathers

Even after a memorable cameo display on his debut against Chelsea last time out, Daniel James was a surprise starter on this occasion. It was either going to be a Solskjaer masterstroke, a naive selection or somewhere in-between.

Although he clearly tried, the Welsh winger largely disappointed and quickly provoked the ire of home supporters for his diving antics. Booked midway through the first half for simulation after being doubled up on by Jonny and Diogo Jota, the 21-year-old flattered to deceive and decision-making was regularly poor to boot.

Despite having just 53 touches over the 90 minutes, he lost the ball a whopping 16 times, and you could see Wolves players growing in confidence with their pressing tactic forcing him into mistakes or safe play to avoid playing teammates into trouble. To his credit, he won eight of 13 duels contested and was fouled on six different occasions: a testament to just how rapid and troublesome he can be, once he gets going.

However, his crossing was dreadful. Six attempted balls into the box, none completed - while he only completed one of three dribbles attempted too. This was not good enough and not necessarily a surprise either, given how the Premier League is a completely different beast to Championship football. Nonetheless, a first league start to forget and one that will give those watching from the substitutes' bench confidence for their first-team prospects going forward.
