Wolves' Joao Moutinho wants his team's victory at Manchester United to act as a springboard after scoring the winner in the club's first success at Old Trafford in 42 years.

Moutinho's goal gave Wolves a 1-0 win on Monday to leave the Midlands club eighth in the Premier League - just one place and three points behind United.

It was no more than Wolves deserved after they managed an impressive 15 shots in the first half alone before the 35-year-old Moutinho struck late on to secure the team's first win at United since 1980.

"For me, I wanted to help the team of course with a goal, winning here at Old Trafford, against a big team, very good players, a good coach, it's amazing for us," Moutinho told Wolves' website.

"We came here to play our game, play football, play with the ball - that's what we did in the first half."
