Wolves continued to threaten throughout the second half. Nunes and co looked a threat each time they went forward. They ended the game with 2.23 expected goals, compared to just 1.46 for Manchester United.

Despite all their attacking play, they weren’t able to trouble Onana who was making his Premier League debut.

Manchester United’s chances were limited throughout the game. Marcus Rashford had no clear chances and looked a frustrated figure leading the line for his club.

It was Raphael Varane who scored the games only goal. Aaron Wan-Bissaka chipped the ball over the on rushing ‘keeper and Varane was there to tap home.

Despite taking the lead, Manchester United still didn’t take control of the game. Wolves created more chances but still couldn’t find a way to score.
