The reason why MU drew with Wolves.

In the early hours of December 31st, Lisandro Martinez pointed out the core problems as Manchester United drew 1-1 with Wolves at Old Trafford in the 19th round of the Premier League.

Martinez believes that MU's unexpected decision to drop deep and reduce the intensity of their pressing created the opportunity for Wolves to mount a comeback.

Martinez found it unacceptable that Manchester United couldn't secure three points against the bottom-placed team, especially when playing at the "Theatre of Dreams". He believes Old Trafford should be a place that creates immense pressure on opponents, not a stadium where visiting teams leave feeling satisfied.

"It's really disappointing. We couldn't play at home and just get a draw. Here, we have to win. The opponents should be under pressure and we didn't manage that," Martinez emphasized.

Analyzing the match in more detail, the center-back nicknamed "The Butcher" argued that MU lost control of the game after the break. In the first half, the home team controlled the ball well and played a relatively coherent style of football.

However, in the second half, MU unexpectedly dropped deeper, reducing the intensity of their pressing, allowing Wolves to comfortably control the ball, organize their movements, and exploit the space.

Martinez admitted that the cautious, risk-averse approach was the reason why MU couldn't finish the game. He acknowledged that Wolves weren't as weak as their position in the league table suggested, but that shouldn't be a reason for MU to play too safely.

"We respect them, but MU needs to take more risks," he said.

At the end of the interview, Martinez revealed the tense atmosphere in the dressing room. The whole team felt disappointed and understood that they had to improve the situation if MU didn't want to continue sliding down the race for the top four.
