    FT: Man Utd 1-0 Wolves!! It's all over! A Wolves player is receiving treatment at the final whistle, but Man U go through to the next round thanks to a lovely Juan Mata goal in the 67th minute. They were the better team in the second half and go through, but Rashford had to go off injured. Wolves will be ruing their missed chances in the first period which included a goal disallowed by VAR and a header onto the post. That's all from us, thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    HT: Man U 0-0 Wolves!! No goals in the first 45, but it's been very exciting. Fairly even, but I'd say Wolves have looked more dangerous. Neto thought he'd scored after 10 minutes, but VAR spotted an accidental handball by Jimenez in the build up and then Doherty hit the post after 30 minutes. United's best chance came just before the break when James was denied by a great Ruddy save. Join us for more in a bit!

    James gets one off Neto now. The set piece is easily caught by Ruddy.
  • 40'
    Wan-Bissaka beats Jonny and then gets a corner off Saiss.

  • 13'
    Man Utd survive, but that was terrible defending. Wolves fans not happy. Spare a thought for Neto. He scored at Anfield and now at OT and VAR has taken both away!
