Man United's top goalscorer last season Marcus Rashford had an uncharacteristically quiet performance against Wolves
Last year was seen as make or break for the United Academy product who looked a shell of his former self before Erik ten Hag's arrival. Fortunately, the forward rediscovered his form, particularly after the World Cup.
Due to injuries, Erik ten Hag was forced to play Rashford in the No.9 role and this would be to his detriment. United's talisman looked isolated and this partially led to a frustrating night for the Reds in front of goal. "At 21-years-old he has had more matches in; the Premier League, in the national team, in the World Cup, in the Euros, in the Champions League and the Europa League, than some players who are 24, 25. For me the points are not his age, the points are his qualities.
A goalkeeper, a midfielder and a striker were Erik ten Hag's priorities heading into the summer window, but that doesn't mean their business ends here, with a move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat also on the cards, as well as plenty of possible departures, including Harry Maguire to West Ham.
"But, playing as the target man in matches for Manchester United [he needs to be] dominant and playing against defensive teams, against low blocks, I think it is difficult for him."
