Reasons Why Manchester United Must Be Cautious Ahead Of The FA Cup Replay With Wolves

Manchester United welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers at home for the second leg of the FA Cup match. Both sides drew 0-0 at the Molineux Stadium this forming another meeting between both sides against all odds.

Facing Wolves at a time like this when the Red Devils have a lot to deal with in terms of injuries and transfer deliberations is really not best as the case may be. This extra game may be a bandwagon to the United’s team fatigue.

However, the Manchester side will have to pay the price of a replay as they could not produce the winner needed away from home. Following the match between both sides, we evaluate the reasons for match reflection for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his cohorts ahead of the game.

Wolves Manchester City Display

Manchester City may have beaten Aston Villa 1-6 and 1-3 to Manchester United scoring 9 goals and conceding just 2 on an impressive note.

However, they were shown they are not the only good in the Premier League by Wolves more like Liverpool had done already in the campaign with firmness place at the top of the Premier League standings.

The Molineux Stadium were fulfilled as City was beaten 3-2 by Wolves coming from two goals down despite the pair of goals scored by Raheem Sterling.

This suggests what they (Wolves) are capable of doing in big games as they travel to Old Trafford looking to cause a likely upset against a revitalized Manchester United.

League Table Significance

Though United may be ahead of them in the table by point (margin) dimension but the visiting Wolves are not far off the Red Devils in the League Table.

This should be a source of caution and technical (evaluation) awareness as the Old Trafford guys must be at their best to win the game.

Any fumbling will be disastrous for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his side as Wolves have got all the Arsenal in their Kitty (squad) away from home.

Good Record Against United

This is a big match for either side to reaffirm their superiority in the season though the Red Devils may have advantage by virtue of their reputation.

However, make no mistake and the likes of Adama Traore (as physical asever) bully the United defense alongside the quality Joa Moutinho would provide in the midfield.

The fact that United have failed to beat them (Wolves) on two attempt (in the Premier League and the FA Cup) this season though Wolves have played host on two (attempt) occasions says the whole story between the two sides as Wolves have got a chance against their match opponent (United) on the road.
