End of match

  • 96'
    FT: Man Utd 0-1 Wolves! All over at Old Trafford and Wolves deservedly take the points thanks to Moutinho's 82nd minute goal. Wolves dominated the first half, but the second half was much more even. Both teams struck the bar and United had a goal disallowed, but Wolves deserve the win based on their first half display and how they played after the goal. It's a huge result for the away side and a big opportunity missed for Man Utd. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

  • 45'
    HT: Man Utd 0-0 Wolves!! Half-time at Old Trafford and the best thing for Man Utd is the scoreline. They've been outplayed in the first 45 and Wolves should be winning. Podence, Neves and Semedo were all denied by great De Gea saves and it has been constant pressure from Wolves. United have done nothing apart from Cavani's shot which flew well over. Back shortly!

  • 38'
    Marcal is brought down by Wan-Bissaka on this near touchline.
  • 36'
    That was strange what Ronaldo did there.
  • 35'
    Jimenez!!! How did you miss that? Ronaldo heads the ball straight to Jimenez in the box, he heads back to Marcal whose ball in is headed wide by Jimenez! It would've been offside had he scored though.
