Match Report
Ashley Young was sent off as Manchester United's Champions League qualification hopes were dented by a 2-1 Premier League defeat at Wolves on Tuesday.
United would have moved up to third in the table, ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham, with victory at Molineux but Nuno Espirito Santo's side came from behind to win thanks to a Chris Smalling own goal.
Scott McTominay's first Manchester United goal put his side ahead but Diogo Jota, who scored as Wolves knocked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men out of the FA Cup last month, levelled.
Young's dismissal, the 100th of Mike Dean's Premier League career, came for a foul on Jota and in the 77th minute Smalling bundled the ball into his own net to ensure United have now lost three of their last four matches in all competitions.

Match Events
13' GOAL! Wolves 0-1 Man Utd (McTominay)
MCTOMINAY PUTS UNITED AHEAD! McTominay is given a bit of space on his right from 25 yards. He takes a touch, gets the ball out from under his feet and fires a driven right-footed shot into the bottom left corner.
25' GOAL! Wolves 1-1 Man Utd (Jota)
GOAAAL! JOTA MAKES IT 1-1! United play themselves into trouble as they pass out from the back. Fred loses the ball and Jimenez measures a perfect throughball to Jota behind the defence. Jota breaks the offside trap and slides a right-footed shot past De Gea.
46' CLOSE! Lukaku's shot wide out
Just wide! Pogba and Lukaku exchange passes on the edge of the area. The ball eventually falls to the Belgian on his right and he drags his shot just wide of the left post.
57' Second Yellow Card! Young sent off
ASHLEY YOUNG IS SENT OFF! Wolves press high and win the ball off United near the halfway line. Young lunges in on Jota and catches him on the inside of his shin with his studs. Mike Dean wastes no time showing him a second yellow card and United are down to 10.
77' OWN GOAL! Wolves 2-1 Man Utd (Smalling)
WOLVES GO 2-1 UP! What a bizarre goal. Jimenez wins the header from Moutinho’s right-footed cross. Dendoncker causes mayhem with his presence as the ball bounces in the six-yard box. Smalling got the final touch though and it will go down as an own goal.
