But how did United’s players fare? Our man at Molineux offers his player ratings from the game.
5. Jack O'Connell 7
The usual consistent performance from O’Connell, until a second-half booking blotted his copybook a little. But only a little. Got forward to good effect too Photo: James Wilson
6. Enda Stevens 6
Beaten by his international colleague Doherty early on down the right and then booked for bringing down Traore. Aside from a few flashes, didn’t hit his usual heights up and down the left flank Photo: Simon Bellis
7. John Lundstram 7.5
Put himself about to good effect and showed several neat touches on the ball, as well as a bit of bite when United didn’t have it. Sheer desire to chase a late ball going out of play summed him up Photo: Tim Goode
8. Oliver Norwood 7
The captain was good with and without the ball, putting his body on the line when needed to stop Wolves' attacks Photo: Simon Bellis
