Manchester United started the game strongly and looked comfortable after the opening goal, as Wolves were left chasing shadows and sitting deep.

Anthony Martial led from the front and was arguably the best player on the pitch in the first-half, as the Frenchman capped off a lively 45 minutes with a well taken goal.

In stark contrast, the second-half proved to be a different story as the home side looked rejuvenated and raring to go after the break.

Nuno's side hit back with a sensational equalizer from Raul Jimenez and looked by the far the better side in the second-half, as they earned a well deserved point.

Martial was left isolated and the Frenchman was largely ineffective since the equalizer, representing two polarizing halves of football.

Wolves put their initial shortcomings behind them and took charge of the game since the interval and their second-half showing against a quality side like Manchester United is sure to boost their confidence for the rest of the season.
