  1. Man Utd 0-0 Wolves

    Baffled at Nelson Semedo's decision to do a piroutte just outside his box. He falls over and United have the ball but they don't make them pay.

  2. YELLOW CARD

    Man Utd 0-0 Wolves

    Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri is booked for taking too long over a throw-in. We've seen a lot of that this weekend.

  3. 'Cunha has started really well'

    We highlighted Cunha before kick off and he has started this game really well.

    He gets in behind and has the legs to get away. My only criticism is that he pulls the shot wide.

    Won't that pen scratch his ipad?

    Personally I think that Ten Hag would be using invisible ink if he was an ‘innovator’

    Has Gary O'Neil got a pen ?

  5. Man Utd 0-0 Wolves

    Best chance of the game maybe. Wolves' Matheus Cunha, who has been excellent so far, sprints past Lisandro Martinez onto a through ball and hits a shot across Andre Onana but just wide of the far post.

  6. Man Utd 0-0 Wolves

    United midfielder Casemiro catches Matheus Cunha on the leg with a kick. Cunha goes down and the home fans boo. Then he gets up. So that's the end of that incident.

  7. Man Utd 0-0 Wolves

    Anyway Wolves have a throw-in. They've taken it now. Another throw-in.

  8. I hope they have those pens in other countries or else a lot of our readers will be very confused.

  9. That was a classic, we've all tried that haven't we?

    I wonder if Ten Hag is finding this half so slow he's tried to get two colours to pop out at once yet?

  11. Wolves' striking problems

    Man Utd 0-0 Wolves

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport at Old Trafford

    Ever since Raul Jimenez suffered that horrific head injury at Arsenal, Wolves have struggled to score goals.

    Matheus Cunha led that charge forward superbly then but he rarely looks like finding the net himself.

    He managed it twice last season after joining on loan from Atletico Madrid.

    I gave up swearing two weeks ago. But United hadn't had a game. Let's see how long I can last today and maybe all season.

    United look half asleep. Garnacho is having no effect. Wolves don't look like a side that have changed manager a few after pre season.

    That will do Cunha and Wolves' confidence an awful lot of good.

  14. YELLOW CARD

    Second booking of the game as Mario Lemina of Wolves lunges in on Alejandro Garnacho and gets a yellow card.

    Tom: You can admire Wolves game plan (it’s working) but also can make for a frustrating watch as a neutral

    P: This Manchester United team looks clueless going forward.

    Henry: This is going to be one of *those* matches against Wolves isn’t it? 0-0 or 1-1 draw incoming. Players looking so static

  16. Man Utd 0-0 Wolves

    What a run this is from Matheus Cunha! The Wolves man gets the ball outside his own box, rides two tackles and runs 70 yards before playing the ball left to Pablo Sarabia, whose shot is deflected by Raphael Varane's leg and goes just wide.

    The corner comes to nothing.

    When it comes to the intricacies of Man Utd's tactics and whether ten Hag is the right man for the job, the fact of the matter is that the pen is four pens in one, I don't see anyone else innovating like that

  18. Man Utd 0-0 Wolves

    United captain Bruno Fernandes wins the ball and tries to play a through ball into the box but his Portugal team-mate Nelson Semedo cuts out the pass.

  19. Man Utd 0-0 Wolves

    It says a lot about the action levels of this game that the main talking point on the texts and tweets is about Erik ten Hag's pen.

    TV has just show Ten Haag using an old school bic 4-colour pen. Imagine making a mistake and seeing him click the red down to make a note - brutal....

    Anon

    Has Ten Hag also got a pencil case with a compass, set square, eraser and pencil sharpener in?

    Skip

    I've got a pen just like that in the office
