On the latest episode of The Devils' Advocate podcast, host Gaz Drinkwater and Jay Motty break down a frustrating night at Old Trafford, where Manchester United failed to turn territorial dominance into a win against Wolves.
Despite recent improvements in attacking areas, Drinkwater felt the side ran out of ideas and urgency as the game wore on. Concerns about United's reliance on crosses and the lack of impact from striker Benjamin Sesko were also raised.

"It felt like there was no urgency, and I could see in the 60th minute that we had run out of ideas with the back four playing the ball left to right and right to left," he said.
"We resorted to balls into the box - similar to the Everton game, where we weren't successful. It's even more frustrating when you've got a [tall] striker in the middle and he can't even get his head on the end of anything and can't really create chances for himself.
"There are certain players who really need to be stepping it up in games like that, and I'm now starting, halfway through the season, to just get a little bit concerned about Benjamin Sesko."
