"Yes, there will be far tougher tests than the awful Wolves side they thumped 4-1 on Monday night, but it's still a result that moves them to 6th in the Premier League table, level on points with Chelsea. Despite so much of the criticism that has come Ruben Amorim's way, the Red Devils are also only six points behind rivals Manchester City. If they'd beaten Everton and West Ham they'd be only three points behind Arsenal right now."
"Even if you frequently bet on football you'd probably struggle to work out what to make of this Man Utd side, who look as though they're only ever one or two good results away from being in the title race, or an equal number of bad results away from finishing in the bottom half like they did last season.

Manchester United display pronounced inconsistency, producing strong wins alongside puzzling losses that leave their season uncertain. A 4-1 victory over Wolves lifted them to sixth and level on points with Chelsea, while they remain six points behind Manchester City. Narrow margins mean a couple of different results would have placed them closer to Arsenal. The squad appears a few positive results from title contention or a few negative results from another low finish. Overall Premier League strength has increased, with financial power and rising clubs narrowing gaps and creating a tightly packed mid-table.
