So who feels better about the wonderful game of association football then?

GOAL DISALLOWED! When Maguire challenged, the ball bounced off Jimenez's arm. The law is a nonsense - if it's accidental and that was, let the game go - but has been correctly applied.

GOAL! Manchester United 0-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Neto) Awful from Fred, the most careless player in the world. He whumps a pass into Matic, the ball falls to Jimenez, and as Maguire ploughs in he squirts through to Neto, who sits Romero down and passes home the opener.
9'
United swarm forward in response but James can't quite work the angle for a shot so Traore breaks and Matic pulls him back. He keeps going, but when nothing comes of it the ref brings the play back and Matic is fortunate not to be booked.

Great chance for Wolves! Traore gets himself one on one v Mata, who bulldozes through him ... not really. A stepover and he's gone clipping back a cross that Jimenez takes beautifully before Cruyff-turning away form Williams only to dribble a shot straight at Romero from bang in front of the posts.
6'
Traore is still on the left, but moving towards the middle. Perhaps he's playing a similar role to Rashford for United, starting wide and looking to come in, which poses a problem for defenders - does the full-back go with him, given he might not be able to keep up? Or hope that the centre-back is in position?
5'
The patterns seems set, United with the ball and looking to pick Wolves apart as Wolves sit back, coiled to counter.
4'
Nice ball from Fred out to James, whose cross sails beyond the back post.

Lovely ball in behind from Mata, clipped over the top into space for James, whose first touch is a goodun ... but Ruddy is out well to get ball then a bit of man. Excellent keeping.
2'
United move forward with Matic, who finds Williams; his shot is charged down by Dendoncker.
1'
Immediately Wolves get Traore on the ball in what looks like an inside-left position and he skates by Fred, but United close down the passing lanes and eventually win a goalkick.

Oh good, Steve McManaman is on co-commentary. Do BT think anyone has ever said that?
19:43
Old Trafford is pretty far from full. I'd fine clubs for empty seats - they should be round local schools, giving them out for free.
19:42
Paul Ince fancies Watford, but I'm sure it'd be different if someone like him, Sparky or Brucey were United manager.
19:41
Here come the teams!

*Mooching about doing nothing.
19:33
This has shaken me to my very core.
19:32
Paul Scholes says he likes Luke Shaw, which is surprising, but thinks Williams is now first choice. He's more than earned that status and he's also been managed well - he was left out after a couple of dodgy games, and has been excellent since returning.
19:31
Paul Ince is pitchside. Which fan doesn't wish he was United manager?
