Man Utd lacked ‘motivation and intensity’ against Wolves, admits Shaw

Luke Shaw said that Manchester United lacked motivation on the field in the 1-0 loss at home to Wolves on Monday.

Joao Moutinho

scored the crucial goal after 82 minutes, it brought the Red Devils' undefeated run under interim coach

Ralf

Rangnick

to an abrupt end.

Shaw

was very dissatisfied with his team's performance, as the left-back said it seemed as if the visitors were in for an easy victory.

"Not good enough, we really struggled, we couldn't get hold of the ball and when we didn't have the ball we weren't aggressive enough. We didn't put them under any pressure,"

he said to 

BBC Sport

.

"It maybe looked like an easy game for them. A disappointing performance and result. We didn't have many options on the ball and we weren't on the front foot.

"We have to put more pressure on them, we have to have intensity. Us players, we have been here a long time, maybe tonight we struggled, I didn't think we were all there together. You look at the players we have, we have unbelievable quality but sometimes quality is not enough.

"We need to bring the intensity and more motivation. Inside the dressing room, we know what we want but out on the pitch we need to give 100%. To win these types of games we all need to be 100% committed. It is tough and disappointing."

Rangnick's club retains seventh in the Premier League table, while

Wolverhampton Wanderers

climb to eighth and are just three points behind the Red Devils.

United will be back in action on Monday when they take on

Aston Villa

at Old Trafford in the FA Cup semifinals. Five days later, they will travel to face the same side in the Premier League on a Saturday afternoon.
