Erm... if you are behind in gold but not in level in lane, you need to CS better, don't see why else that would happen... but if you're gold5 you should know that already.

Otherwise, pre-6 play wukong like a glass cannon with his clone being his shield and only survivability. I like to compare him to Kassadin: you dash to the opponent, hit them with a mid-damage burst, then retreat to safety with your invisibility. You hence need to practive your juking capabilities with clone. Your priority is to amass gold without getting pushed out of lane, and you counter your opponent's pressure by out-pressuring them with your very damaging EQ combo.

Damage counters damage, mana and sustain beats tankyness with Wukong. If you are facing a Teemo or a GP for example, build a brutaliser ASAP and all-in them with your ult after you EQ them once or twice. If you are facing a Renekton or a Shen, build a vamp scepter and a ToG and slowly push them out of lane; an all-in strat won't work there because they'll survive your ult unless they are low-life. Consider pushing and ganking mid if you can't seem to get kills, you gank exceptionally well with your invisibility.
