This victory sends Manchester United to top of Premier League, a loss could see them dropping to third behind Arsenal & Chelsea

Wolves made most of Wayne Rooney’s absence and looked the better team for large parts of the game. But Wolves lacked composure in front of goal and missed a lot of opportunities

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy
“We played well but I’m sick of saying that. If we maintain those standards, I firmly believe our luck will change.

“Sam (Vokes) would expect to score that chance at the end, but it’s the story of our season. There was a mistake at one end and a miss at the other.

“But we’ll never give up, as long as there is breath in our bodies.”

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson:
“We deserved the win, no question. They had an outstanding chance at the end but the lad didn’t take it.

“Our form is good and we’re managing without some players, which is important at this time of year.

“And we have players coming back – that was the first time that back four has played together for a year and a half.”
