Man Utd player ratings vs Wolves: What are you doing, Ruben Amorim?! Red Devils boss pays price for reverting to back three as Matheus Cunha flops against former club in dreadful draw against Premier League whipping boys | Goal.com Malaysia
Manchester United became just the third team to fail to beat Wolves this season as they could only draw 1-1 at home to one of the worst teams in Premier League history. Ruben Amorim paid the price for an ill-advised return to a back three, stripping his team of all the excitement and unpredictability which had helped them beat Newcastle in their previous game.
AFPGoalkeeper & Defence
Senne Lammens (7/10):
Reacted quickly to kick away Hugo Bueno's effort. Couldn't get across in time to reach Krejci's equaliser, but made a vital and brilliant double-save to deny the Czech in the second half with his right hand and then foil Mosquera's attempt to follow it in.
Ayden Heaven (7/10):
Made the opening goal by stealing the ball from Hwang and then carrying it forward as if he was Beckenbauer. Defended resolutely, building on his excellent display against Newcastle.
Lisandro Martinez (6/10):
A comedown from his triumphant return to the line-up on Boxing Day as he couldn't influence the game from deep and didn't organise the defence properly when Wolves levelled.
Luke Shaw (6/10):
Solid defensively. His deliveries from corners, however, were disappointing.

Diogo Dalot (6/10):
Weaker when asked to play as a wing-back as he couldn't create much. Defended diligently.
Manuel Ugarte (5/10):
Sloppy in possession and only underlined why United want and need to sign a proper holding midfielder.
Casemiro (5/10):
His passing was really poor and he couldn't offer the usual power and security.
Patrick Dorgu (5/10):
Back down to earth after ravaging Newcastle as he was much less dangerous back on the left. To make matters worse, he left Krejci unmarked at the crucial moment.
AFPAttack
Matheus Cunha (5/10):
Frustratingly ineffective against his former side, failing to live up to the early comparisons to Cantona as he offered nothing when he needed to raise his game.
Benjamin Sesko (5/10):
Very bright at the start and could have had a hat-trick in the first half as he hit the post and fired narrowly wide. His profligacy is becoming a real concern, and all his efforts in the second half lacked potency.
Joshua Zirkzee (5/10):
His goal owed a lot to the deflection and Heaven's dribbling skills, and it was the only positive thing he did. His botched clearance helped Wolves equaliser and he was then brutally taken off at half-time.

Jack Fletcher (5/10):
Looked out of place to tell the truth, but it's Amorim's fault for throwing him in at the deep end.
Leny Yoro (6/10):
Brought a bit more urgency to the play.
Bendito Mantato (5/10):
A difficult time to make his debut and his nerves showed as he shanked a cross into the Stretford End.
Ruben Amorim (3/10):
Only has himself to blame. Switched back to the formation which has mostly failed, put players back in the positions where they are least effective and threw kids in at the deep end.
