United's wing play is utterly atrocious. On the right... Wan-Bissaka might be a decent defender but his attacking is laughable, and Dan James belongs in the championship, he looks tired but he's also just not good enough; he needs to put on some muscle and toughen up a bit. On the left... we're currently playing Pereira - won't bother wasting the characters on that one, and Luke Shaw still looks like he spends his weekdays at Greggs.

Yep, can't disagree with any of that. Dalot has much more quality going forward than AWB, but AWB is way better defensively. I think in the long term Williams will be the first choice left-back, he looks like he's got more quality than Shaw, I just don't think Ole wants to be adding yet another inexperienced teenager at a time when the team needs more experience, not less. Also, Pereira has no place in this team once Rashford, McTom and Pogba are all fit, he'll be a consistent bench option at best.

So Wan-Bissaka can cross after all :p

Pretty meh game really, thought Fernandes was fine for a first game, and Fred was a beast.

Fred's this season's Lindelof. All you have to do to impress Utd fans is be a car crash for 12 months then playing ok makes you great :p

Shockingly poor performance from United. So many of them just not good enough.

It's not just that. Wolves play so negative. Even more so than ourselves. Without Rashford we are lost with no cutting edge up top. I really hope this Ighalo character can at least bring a bit of help up there.

Daniel James isn't good enough. Not sure what has happened to him as he was our best player at the beginning of the season.

There are question marks over a lot of the players, but really, the coaching seems woeful.

Poch in, please.

Sheffield Utd have got to be a serious contender for top 4 now. 5 points off Chelsea and have played both Liverpool and City twice already. With Utd playing Chelsea and Wolves playing Leicester in the next round of games, they could be right on Chelsea's arse with a win at home to Bournemouth.
