AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY, UNITED TAKE THE LEAD! 1-0! It's certainly come against the run of play, but Mourinho won't care one bit as Fred scores his first goal with the club, swiveling expertly to drive a low finish into the bottom corner! That was a delicious touch from Pogba to tee him up.
53' GOAL! Man Utd 1-1 Wolves (Moutinho)
WOLVES HAVE THE GOAL THEY'VE DESERVED! 1-1! Parity restored at Old Trafford! Costa does an excellent job of guiding a pass into the centre for Jimenez, while off balance, and the striker lays it off unselfishly for Moutinho who hammers a first-time finish into the top corner from 15 yards for his first Wolves goal!
MATCH REPORT
Wolves looked vastly superior to their hosts in the early exchanges and forced David de Gea into two smart saves, as Raul Jimenez and Willy Boly threatened.
But United made the most of those let-offs and took the lead against the run of play 18 minutes in – Fred finding the bottom-left corner from 20 yards after Paul Pogba's clever disguised pass.
The Brazilian nearly got a second on the stroke of half-time, but his fine free-kick was tipped on to the post by Rui Patricio.
Wolves deservedly restored parity just after the interval, however, as Jimenez teed up Moutinho on the edge of the box and the midfielder found the top-left corner.
United huffed and puffed towards the end, with substitute Juan Mata offering a little more creativity than Alexis Sanchez, but Wolves held on, Nuno Espirito Santo successfully frustrating his "inspiration" Jose Mourinho.
