#2 Ashley Young

Ashley Young's performances have been consistently poor for Manchester United, especially for the last couple of weeks. He was poor against Watford and he was poor again against Wolves as well.

He earned two yellow cards in the space of five minutes and was sent off, which left 10-men United with an uphill task. The second yellow card was very reckless on Young's part as he dived in with his studs up and caught Jota. This is something that you don't expect from an experienced player who has played so many games for United.

#1 Fred

Fred came into this game as Solskjaer decided to rest Nemanja Matic and he operated as the number 6 for most of the game. He assisted Manchester United's only goal but his contribution at the other end is something in question. His bad touch after receiving the ball from David de Gea in the United half led to Woves' first goal.

The Brazilian looked very sharp for the first 20-30 minutes, but after that, he was bossed by Ruben Neves for the whole match. Manchester United have spent some big bucks to acquire the services of the Brazilian and so far he has done nothing to justify his price tag.
