Manchester United vs Wolves
A Big Match
By Wolves
September 22 2018
Nuno Espírito Santo takes his Wolves team to Old Trafford for the first time today to face his old Porto Manager Jose Mourinho
Wolves will be hoping for a third consecutive win today in what is likely to be a huge test of their Premiership ambitions. Man United will be looking for their third consecutive win after beating Young Boys midweek, whilst looking to avoid another home defeat. One thing is for sure; Wolves will not turn up making ten changes to a winning team as is often recalled from Mick McCarhey's time. United have two of their stars Rashford and Matic missing due to suspension, whilst Wolves may well continue to play the same team as for the previous five games.

Well I've gone for a 2-2 draw - I could never pick my team to lose though I think there's a load of optimism in my reckoning!
Is Cav still not fully recovered?
Great to see such a settled side.
Good luck to the lads and our fans making the journey.
I’ve got to be honest, my stomach is going over. If we’d lost the first 5 (never would’ve happened) I wouldn’t feel so bad but this hope thing is dreadful.
UTW!

One of my local bars in Malia has kindly agreed to screen today's match for me, so I will do my best to keep you up to date.

I think he's back in training Ivy, but I find Nuno tends to keep information re: player fitness pretty close to his chest, so it's hard to know where he's up to.
Big welcome back from the fans to Sir Alex - presumably his first return since his brain surgery
Disappointed we’re playing in white.
On the football side , sound like a good start to the match

Confident start by us - Doc linked up well with Raul but shot blocked
Raul makes space in the box & his shot saved by De Gea's outstretched leg, after great work by Costa
It is high pace so far and very even Wolverina. Raul is sry effective up front so far. Corner met by Bennett but just over the bar
Great saves from De Gea to keep Boly's header out from a corner. Up the other end ball breaks to Fred who puts a low ball past Patricio into the bottom corner
It's like we said last week - have to take your opportunities - we have several - they get one and score! Still - early days yet!
Dare I say it, we’ve seen it before, especially last week. We certainly create, no problem, but we need a lot of chances to put it in the net. Man United - 1 chance, 1 goal.
We're still bringing good saves out of great keepers Ivy! Jonny playing well down the left - put a great pass in for Raul but fractionally offside
Fred defending well to snuff out threat from Jonny. Jonny is linking up well with Jota but Utd are defending very well
Some great attacking possession by Wolves ends in free kick for Costa & Shaw booked.
Burnley beating B'mouth 2-0!!

Handball by Raul just outside our area - which Sanchez wastes!!
Gundogan scores a belter to put City 3-0 up at Cardiff
One minute added time to play

Dubious foul on Sanchez taken Fred brings out a great save from Rui
Half time whistle. Good game to watch with good attacking play by both teams, Wolves have had 4 shots at goal with 3 on target to Utd's 3 and 2 but Utd lead from a well taken goal.
Wolves have threatened but still can't find the final touch. Jota is still struggling to find the form we know he is capable of. Neves imperious in midfield in the theatre of dreams!!

We’re competing, no doubt about it - great stuff. Sounds like we may have dropped a little as the half went on but the early tempo was terrific.
Keep up the effort. Just need a goal!
I’ve switched to 5Live now.
2nd half underway. C’mon Wolves!

Fabulous left footed shot by Joao to draw us level after great work by Costa. Great goal
1 - 1
1 - 1
Wolves fans in full cry “w*anky W*anky wanderers” “those were the days” “Nuno had a dream” all sound brilliant on 5 Live!
@#$%& brilliant. Come on Wolves. Gaffer of the local is a Utd fan. He wil be unbearable if they win.
Fellaini played quite deep in first half but is getting further forward now and proving a nuisance. Wolves good value for money at the moment
Neves blocks off Pogba and gets a yellow. Mata & Martial coming on for Utd to replace Fred & Sanchez
Good play by Jonny to earn a corner. Good shot by Jota saved by De Gea
Good effort by Lingard put over by Rui. Lukaku heads wide but offside anyway
Jimenez pops up all over the pitch really working hard. Good effort by Neves well taken by De Gea. No sign of Traore yet!!
Fellaini header well taken by Rui
Game is wide open & really could go either way. Jota much better this half. Traore warming up

Costa has had a good afternoon & is replaced by Traore. Lingard off for Pereira
Long range free kick from Pogba well covered by Rui. Wolves having to defend at the moment. Traore now lively
Nasty collision between Boly & Doc in our pen area. Boly comes off worst but I think he's OK
Silly tackle by Saiss gives away a free kick just outside our area. Boly to the rescue!!
Traore struggling to get into the game so far. Wolves holding together at the back. Morgan Gibbs-White replaces Jota

Wolves are good value for the point they are currently earning with 1.5 mins to go
Five added minutes. Great shot by Traore- not sure if it hit the post or De Gea!!
It was a save with us foot. Boly has contained Lukaku really well today
Quote:Ivybridge Wolf
Why Wolverina? To save Man U? Hahaha!
So nervous!
Yes - need a drink!
Wolves fans chanting "Nuno is the Special One"!! Another break & shot by Traore safely gathered. Coady has had goodsolid game too
Traore had a chance last minute!!!
All over.
Fabulous Wolves ........ might have won it. Great effort. Proud,excited, exhausted, all from my lounge seat!
UTW!

All over & Wolves earn another valuable point against a very good team. Meanwhile Cardiff were smashed 5-0 at home by City!! Burnley got 4 against none by B'mouth!
United 1 Wolves 1
United 1 Wolves 1
Going to enjoy my G and T! Looking forward to MOTD tonight - great effort!
That point takes us to tenth in the PL which is fantastic by any standards!!
Well done Wolves. Sounds as though they played well and can certainly hold their own in this league.
Worth watching on MOTD tonight folks - it was a good game. Please note I will not be preparing for or commentating for e game this Tuesday - I'm on holiday!!
The draw was the fair result as I see it.However,it really was anyones game and we could have knicked all three points.
I am not surprised.We have shown time and time again this season that we really belongs in the Premier League.Quite different from the last couple of times we went up.
I definetely see us as a solid mid table team this season.We are a couple of classplayers away from breaking into the top six IMO.
It is all in all a magnificent feeling,and who knows?
This might have been the last time for a fair while when we are leaving OT satisfied with just one point.
Next up Soton at home.We will be rightly favoured to get three points from that.
Onwards,upwards.We are shooting for the stars.
