Erik ten Hag criticised the performance of Manchester United's frontline in their 1-0 defeat of Wolves.
How Erik ten Hag might pick winner from two Manchester United players wanting the same role

With just three pre-season friendlies now standing between Manchester United and their Premier League opener against Wolves in 17 days time, Erik ten Hag is busy finalising his side's preparations.
The Reds' first-team has played four friendlies so far this summer, winning three and losing one. Their winning streak came to an end when they were beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid in Houston in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Ten Hag, for the first time this summer, fielded a starting line-up that was not too far away from being what most people consider as his strongest XI. With the exceptions of Kobbie Mainoo, who went off injured early doors, and Alejandro Garnacho, it was his first-choice team.
For instance, Mason Mount, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro all started together for the first time this summer, but Fernandes started out wide to accommodate Mainoo, meaning Ten Hag is yet to deploy what many expect to be his strongest midfield once the competitive action starts next month in formation.
