Ruben Neves' superb shot from outside the penalty area allowed the Wolves to draw 1-1 against Manchester United in an end-to-end match at Molineux on Monday night.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer delivered the summer arrival of Daniel James, who scored against Chelsea in his first game, his first start in the Premier League, while Andreas Pereira had fallen to the bench.

United, who recorded two defeats and a draw in all competitions against the Wolves last season, took the lead before the half-hour when Anthony Martial shot a shot into the net after a good set-up.

The goal was Martial's 50th since he had joined Man United in the summer of 2015 – the record of all players who have passed this spell – and he gave his team a 1-0 lead at the break.

The wolves came out of the locker room on the front foot and got a deserved equalizer 10 minutes after Neves pulled back in front of David De Gea after a corner kick and the goal lifted after a video critic for offside.

Paul Pogba scored a penalty in the 67th minute, but Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio saved the powerful goalkeeper's shot. He guessed what to do and kept the ball away from the net to preserve the 1-1 draw.

"Both are confident confident shooters," said Solskjaer defending Pogba's defeat. "When there are two names out there, it's the one that has the most confidence." Paul has scored many times before, so no problem at all.

Despite the support of his coach, this miss means that Pogba has only converted seven of his last eleven penalty shootouts.

The match was wide open in the last 20 minutes, with both teams appearing to have every chance of scoring, but Wolves and United scored no goals and both teams agreed a point to conclude the second day of the match. the Premier League.

The result maintains the Wolves a run of 13 undefeated home defeats in all competitions and places their record against Man United to two wins and two draws in the last two seasons.

"We are improving," said Solskjaer. "In the first half, we dominated the possession of the ball and in the second half we knew they were going out like a house on fire and then we took control and could have won it."

The next match for United is a home match against Crystal Palace on Saturday, as the Wolves start their Europa League campaign against Turin on Thursday before receiving Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.
