The Wolves, who had a change of manager before the start of the season, pressed forward at the start of this first-round battle to press the
Manchester United Football Club
They're clear.

The midfield may not have been consistent (and there were a number of goals conceded in the warm-up), and Wolves kept six players pressing in the opening period

Backfield, and

It started as a 4231 with Mount at the back, but then it became a 4141 with Mount going up, but with only Casemiro left in the back of the midfield, which was a bit of a struggle against the Wolves' onslaught.

Then tried to up the ante and push Wolves back as quickly as possible, it did work, both Antony had pace along with Garnacho and Rashford, Wolves were very careful to back off in defense, but with a number of men up front already, Wolves had limited passing routes out of their own backfield.

Could put a lot of pressure on the Wolves when they go on the offensive.
The Wolves counterattacked on the left side of the field at the 16:00 mark.

The right side of the ball was empty, when Lisandro.Martinez rushed up and made a shovel, which was so fierce that the referee issued him a yellow card!
The Wolverines put together a pretty good comeback at the 25:00 mark.

Because they pressed too far forward and had fewer players at the back, Wolves got the ball freely from Cunha in the middle of the field, Lisandro.Martinez rushed up to grab the ball because he wanted to grab it fast (I've talked about his shortcomings in the Youtube program), and Cunha dodged past Lisandro.Martinez and then rushed straight to the center of the field.

outside the box, laid the ball off to Sarabia, whose shot from the left side came up short of the

At the 32:00 mark the Wolves struck again with a great counterattack as Sarabia got a beautiful pass down the right side of the field past Lisandro.Martinez and fired a shot from the right side of the box that once again nearly broke through the

The first half ended with both teams on the attack, with the Wolves clearly having done their homework to prepare for the game, with the impact of the two strikers, Sarabia and Cunha, alone being a target for the

Weakness at the back with center back Lisandro.Martinez would press further forward in the back weaknesses and the Wolves defense did a good job with both sides of the ball against the

The wingers are doing all the holding.

kept trying to try and move to the center for a shot as quickly as possible, but the Wolves center backs recovered quite quickly and closed down the central defense in a flash, so Rashford couldn't get a good chance either.

It is obvious to see Wan-Bisaka's form is very good, no matter attack and defense are to the position, but also launched a number of passes, Antony is also good, now will want to go forward on the right, plus cross the road so that the opponent is not good to defend him, and Antony has had a number of direct passes, the Wolves are well-prepared for all the stops, but the Antony's performance is qualified, but
Manchester United Football Club
Mount was invisible in the first half, unable to join the attack effectively up front, and was not seen on defense, while Varane showed good form and was able to go up and distribute the ball to start an attack.
After the start of the second half.

Straight away Lisandro.Martinez was replaced by Lindelof, but the game didn't take long to get going as the Wolves, with their toughness at the back, soon blocked at the back in the 48th minute

The attack was followed by a counterattack, with Nunes charging all the way down to the

Outside the box and then a lay-off to Sarabia on the right, then a cross to the far post, and again Cunha shoots from outside the box, this time coming close to breaking through the
