What happened in the Manchester United vs Wolves match?
Goalless draw at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Wolves. Not much in it from either side. Not too much drama as far as the match itself went. It means that they are six points off the top four. But 15 attempts for Man United, 14 for Wolves, five on target for the home side, three for the away side. Ten shots from outside the box for Manchester United. 28-29 touches in the opponent box and Manchester United with 64% possession. But let's get the thoughts of Ruben Neves now because he is with Patrick Davidson.
Ruben, well played. Pleased or frustrated with that result?
To be honest, we wanted to win. We want to win all the games. But, you know, when you come to Old Trafford and you get a draw here against this great team, it's always good for us. But now, just looking forward to the next one. We have now a week to prepare ourselves and then we go again.
How did Manchester United perform despite the draw?
As always, you looked incredibly well drilled. What was the game plan coming here?
Just like usual, we wanted to play our game, have the ball, defend really well. I think we did well. They had some chances at the end of the game, but it's normal. They wanted to win as well. They were at home, but we controlled it. and I think it's a fair result for both teams because it was a good game without goals, but a good game to watch.
What was it like coming up against Bruno Fernandes then in that midfield, a guy you know well, on his Premier League debut?
It's always good playing against our teammates from the international team. I know him very well. I'm really happy for him. He's in a great club, in a fantastic league, and now he can show everyone what he can do. That is a lot. He's a great player, and I'm really happy for him.
What were the players' thoughts on the match outcome?
Any fear for you guys coming here at all in the past, in the Premier League? Wolves coming to Old Trafford in the Premier League, maybe they'd have been a bit overawed. What about for you guys today?
No, you know, our mentality is playing the same everywhere. It doesn't matter the stadium. So we tried to play our football, like I said before. Unfortunately, we didn't get the win. But we go out from here with the draw. It's not bad for us. Good results, like I said. Let's take a rest and start preparing ourselves for what's coming.
How does it set you up, this result, for what's coming? Obviously Europa League, but maybe even Champions League for next season.
We don't think about that, to be honest. We don't think about the table, just go game by game.
What was the game plan for Wolves during the match?
It's our philosophy since we started in Championship with Nuno, so we'll keep going on that, thinking game by game, try to win every single game and see where we can be at the end of the season.
Very well played today. You are the Premier League man of the match.
Thank you very much. Well played. Thank you. Well done, Ruben. Thanks.
Well, the man of the match, Ruben Neves, saying that he thought they dominated the game, that perhaps a goalless draw was a fair result in the end. Do you think that Nuno will be pleased with the way that Wolves, as he said, control the game?
Yeah, all in all, I think first half Wolves were excellent, were the better side. Without creating too many clear-cut opportunities, in the second half, I thought Manchester United tweaked it a little bit, putting Mata central. Wolves still had two fantastic chances with Jimenez and the header for Sais, and Sais is usually very good in the box, in those positions. And I think all in all, though, coming here, getting a point, shows you how far Wolves have come. We mentioned there, I remember the McCarthy, all the changes that were made coming here, but now the mentality of Wolves are...
How did Bruno Fernandes impact his debut performance?
Fear factor in Manchester United is not there, but the belief and the process that Wolves have. So, decent point, and especially when Traore went off, then it was more difficult for Wolves. So, I think Wolves will be the happier of the two sides.
Yeah, I agree. I mean, in a way, Matt, I don't know if you're even a bit disappointed. The size header towards the end and I thought the control in the game. I just want to mention Ruben Neves because many years coming to play against and watch Michael Carrick, he has that quality in midfield, the way that he controlled the game today.
