Jose Mourinho's Manchester United were held to a draw at Old Trafford by Wolves, after Joao Moutinho's stunner cancelled out Fred's first half goal.

After an impressive 3-0 victory over Young Boys in the Champions League on Wednesday, United couldn't find a winner against a Wolves side that might have found another goal themselves.

Paul Pogba was one of the best players on the pitch, following on from his two goal performance in midweek.

Wolves had the better of the chances as the game started, looking particularly threatening from set-pieces. Ryan Bennett headed over, before Willy Boly forced David De Gea into a fine reaction save.

However, United opened the scoring against the run of play in the 18th minute. Paul Pogba played a delicate pass to Fred on the edge of the area, who fired a fine low shot past Rui Patricio.

It was the Brazilian's first goal for the club after signing in the summer.

Both teams pushed for a winner in the second half, with substitute Adama Traore having the best of the opportunities in injury time.

Wolves will be more pleased than United with the result, which leaves them 10th. Manchester United are 5th, but just one point ahead of Wolves.
