Ralf Rangnick was less than impressed with Manchester United’s performance as they fell to defeat against Wolves, citing their lack of pressing as an issue.
The German arrived, renowned for pioneering the modern day press, but claimed his side “tried” before giving up after ten minutes.
United looked bereft of ideas as Wolves claimed a rare win at Old Trafford.
The visitors set their stall out early and fired in 15 shots in the first-half – the most by an away team for 18 seasons.
David de Gea was able to keep the game level until Joao Moutinho fired home the winner with nine minutes left.
The midfielder’s volley deservedly led Wolves to three points and sent the away fans into raptures.
It is Rangnick’s first loss as United boss, but displays under his leadership had done little to inspire.
He told Sky Sports: “We didn’t play well at all individually or collectively. In the first half, we had big problems to keep them away from our goal.
“In the second half we changed to a back three and had more control then a spell of 15 minutes where we could have scored. The goal we conceded, we had enough players in the box.
“The cross had been defended by Jones but the goal we conceded was like too many this season.
“Moutinho could shoot unmarked with no problems, no pressure. We’re very disappointed about the result and parts of our performance.
