Wolves vs Manchester United: 5 Takeaways from the game

#4 Manchester United were brilliant in the first half

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lined United up in a familiar 4-2-3-1, with Daniel James being brought in for Andreas Pereira. It is fair to say that United were utterly dominant in the first half as they didn't let Wolves create a single opportunity.

Wolves were defending very narrow and compact, and it took a brilliant move from United to open the scoring. Rashford found Martial with a neat little pass and the Frenchman didn't make a mistake in front of goal.

United had a lot of the ball in the first period and while it can be said United didn't really create many opportunities, they were in control of the game in the first half.

#3 Wolves improved massively in the second half

After a dismal first-half performance, Nuno Espirito Santo would have wanted his team to be quick off the blocks in the second period and the home side did exactly that. First, Raul Jimenez hit the woodwork before Joao Moutinho set up Neves for the equalizer.

The goal itself was stunning as Neves struck it from outside of the box and beat David De Gea comfortably. Also, bringing on Adama Traore for Matt Doherty at the start of the second period added the much-needed bite to Wolves' attack, as Traore didn't let Luke Shaw rest for a single minute after coming on.

It was Wolves' second-half performance that earned them a point against United.
