    Wolves 0-0 Man Utd

    First real sights of goal for Wolves.

    A mistake by Antony gives Daniel Podence a chance to cut inside and shoot, but his shot is blocked.

    Soon after, Joao Moutinho is found in the box but his effort is halted by a sliding block from Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

    Antony tries to make Manchester United's growing threat count as he weaves into the box. But his shot has the sting taken out of it by a deflection and Jose Sa has an easy save to make.

    On the flip side, Wolves are having to work much harder to get into the game in an attacking sense. This is what happens when you don't score goals and win games. Julen Lopetegui has a big challenge on his hands.

    Man Utd are moving the ball quicker and with more intent. There is visible confidence surging through the visitors.

    Nelson Semedo came to Wolves from Barcelona with a big reputation but I have never been convinced by him as a right-back in a four-man defence.

    Semedo is good going forward but his positioning is not great and his use of the ball is not always the best.

    That was a case in point. A completely under-hit back pass, which could have led to Wolves conceding a goal Manchester United had done nothing to create.

    There was applause at Molineux during the 16th minute for young Wolves fan Liberty Charris, who was killed in a road traffic accident a few weeks ago. A big family uniting to try and ease the suffering of a smaller one.

    He just provides that balance and control in midfield. Yes we know that he's good on the ball but the job that he does in front of those two centre backs is totally phenomenal. I think he was a must kind of signing and if you look at Manchester United over the last few seasons they were really struggling in that midfield area,

    Massive let off for Wolves!

    Nelson Semedo loses his head and sends an awful back pass that allows Alejandro Garnacho to charge in on goal. Thankfully for the home side, Jose Sa is out in a flash to block the young Man Utd winger's shot.

    Erik ten Hag has his magnetic tactics board out and is playing around. Either that or it's travel Monopoly.

    Manchester United are well-drilled mind. They are not going to make it in any way easy for Wolves to get the likes of Diego Costa into the game.

    There have been a lot of unforced errors in this game so far, with neither side looking after the ball particularly well.

    I have been impressed by Wolves' young full-back Hugo Bueno who is looking to cause trouble whenever he gets the ball.

    He has shown already he is not scared to push forward.

    It is a familiar problem for Wolves. They are getting into promising areas but struggling to go much further. It results in a lot of turning back to find Moutinho and Neves before starting again down a blind alley.

    Alejandro Garnacho's first real involvement in the game is to charge away on a break down the left. He cuts inside but has three Wolves men in front of him. He doesn't stand a chance as soon as he makes the decision to try and beat them all.

    Wolves win their first corner as Hugo Bueno's cross is knocked behind.

    It is chipped in deep but headed away by Raphael Varane.

    If your looking at ways that Wolves can hurt the opposition your looking at Diego Costa and Luke Shaw. If I'm Diego Costa I'm putting myself up against him every opportunity, looking to pin him in wide areas and test him as a centre half.

    That Casemiro header was going in.

    After what has felt like years of Manchester United not being a threat at corners, now they are.

    No-one tracked the Brazilian's near-post run.

    The high press is causing Wolves some issues as they try to manoeuvre the ball out from the back. Like many sides in the Premier League, they are clearly wed to the short goal-kick under Lopetegui.

    Oh close!

    Casemiro arrives at the near post to glance a header that is deflected over the bar.

    Anthony Martial is dumped on his behind in the box, but it's as much his slip as any illegal contact from a Wolves player. Man Utd do manage to win the game's first corner, though.
