They eventually conceded at the stroke of halftime when Ladislav Krejci found the back of the net with a well-taken header.Man United underperformed against WolvesManchester United had a better team at their disposal, but they struggled to control the game and assert themselves. They failed to create too many chances either. Despite having multiple top players on the pitch like Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United ended the game with an XG of 0.81, as per BBC.In comparison, Wolves had an XG of 1.02. The shocking stat highlights just how poor Manchester United were going forward. Having spent well over £150 million on attacking players during the summer transfer window, very few would have expected them to be so toothless in the final third.Man United should be winning these gamesJoshua Zirkzee of Manchester United celebrates scoring his team’s first goal. (Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images)Even though they were without some of their important players due to injuries and AFCON, they have enough quality in depth to find a way past the worst team in the division. Wolves are at the bottom of the league table right now, and they have yet to pick up a single victory in the league. They created more chances against Manchester United earlier today, and that will certainly leave the fans frustrated.Manchester United looked disjointed in their new system as well. It will be interesting to see if Ruben Amorim decides to switch back to his favourite three at the back formation in the upcoming matches. Manchester United will need to bounce back strongly if they want to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season. Performances like these will certainly make things difficult for them, as far as European qualification is concerned.‘Impressing again’: Man United player who cost just £1m hailed after mediocre first-half
