"As I said before they’ve gifted the game to Wolves tonight, two individual mistakes, the red card, the first goal and even the second goals is individual mistakes from United.
"That’s all United have done really. If you look back on the whole game, United have probably had the better opportunities, more of the possession but mistakes have been punished.
"It’s a big difference from the FA Cup where Wolves were by far the best team. Tonight United were the best team but they’ve lost the game."
