COSTA CLOSE!
Semedo whips a briliant ball in from the right and Costa is just inches away from getting his head on it.
Great ball.

LOTS OF SHOTS, ONE GOAL
United have had 18 attempts so far to Wolves' one, but that doesn't really tell the story of what is still a very close game of football.
United don't look like doubling their lead any time soon.

LEMINA DOWN
Wolves' Lemina is down hurt. Might have received an accidental stamp in an innocent tussle here.
In other former United legend news, Antonio Valencia is in the crowd watching on.

ANTONY SHOT BLOCKED
Antony gets all the way to the six yard box but takes a moment too long sizing his shot up, giving the Wolves backline all the time they need to block his effort.
Still, it's the Antony show today, for better or for worse.

A quick change from Lopetegui at the break...
Neto makes way for Hwang...attack, attack, attack.

HALF TIME
United should make it two on the stroke of half-time as Antony only need square for Eriksen to release the Dane through on goal, but he stalls and stalls before teeing up Martial who can only send a tame shot into Sa's trustworthy hands.
United go in at the break a goal to the goal, but there's plenty of time left here for Wolves to steal a point or more.

VARANE BACK WITH THE BLOCKS
Varane has been sorely missed at the back for United and he's already pulled a few big blocks out the bag as Semedo tries to pick out a teammate inside the box.
Wolves do win a free-kick as Antony tackles Neves from behind, but Varane is there to swipe clear.

BENTLEY SAVES FROM CORNER
Fernandes whips in a corner that pings off a Wolves defender. The ball is goalbound but debutant Bentley does well to touch the ball over the bar for another corner.
This one comes to nothing but some nervy moments at the back from the visitors.

UNITED SIT BACK
Wolves are enjoying a bit more of the ball now United are ahead and the hosts sit back a touch.
Semedo's run down the left is well-stopped by Casemiro who does well not to let the pacey defender get away from him...second yellow territory.
37'
CASEMIRO BOOKED
Casemiro brings down Dawson in what looked like a 50/50 challenge but the ref has seen it differently.
Casemiro is furious and has to watch himself now. He's staring down the barrel of a third red card this season.

ANTONY GOES FREESTYLE
This game is all about the Brazilian.
First, Fernandes megs Kilman with a backheel to find Antony who is surrounded by three Wolves shirts. He lifts the ball into the air and over their heads in an attempt to escape their attention.
It doesn't work, but looked cool anyway.

GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 1 WOLVES 0 (Martial, 32')
It's been coming!
Moments after Antony missed his sitter he creates the opener!
Fernandes picks out the Brazilian's run down the right and this time Antony squares for Martial who sweeps into an empty net.
United lead!

ANTONY MISSES SITTER!
Should be 1-0! Antony is free at the back post, in space, and all he has to do is time his jump right and plant a header past Bentley.
He misses the goal altogether!

UNITED FREE-KICK
Fernandes is brought down by Semedo on the edge of the box and United have a free-kick in a dangerous position.
There's four red shirts standing over it, which feels excessive. Shaw gets his marching orders...Fernandes will take it...
It's on target! But too easy for Sa who collects with both hands.
24'
FERGIE IN THE HOUSE
This place is full of former United bosses.
Sir Alex Ferguson and Solskjaer are both in the stands. Not much for them to enjoy so far.
Wolves have a free-kick 45 yards out as Lindelof fouls Neves. The Swedish defender spends a solid minute complaining about it before Neves' ball into the box goes absolutely nowhere.

MARTIAL FALLS DOWN
Here we go, Martial, running at the Wolves backline.
Ah, he falls over on the edge of the box. End of attack.

SANCHO STRUGGLES
Sancho just can't quite make it work at Old Trafford these days. He really struggles to deal with team that sit deeper because the winger relies on momentum to help him beat players.
When a side sits deep, it forces Sancho wider and wider and when he does try and beat them man, more often than not he's out of play altogether.
Such a frustrating player to watch.

COSTA IN THE BOOK
Diego Costa gets a yellow for clattering Eriksen. Easy does it.

UNITED ON TOP
Antony is working very hard for the team here, winning the ball back in the Wolves halñf before sliding Wan-Bissaka in behind.
The right-back's ball into the box is calling out for a red shirt to run in and finish it but there's nobody there to take advantage.

ANTONY BENDS WIDE
United are two on two all of a sudden after a Kilman mistake at the back!
Antony cuts inside and looks to bend one bottom left but his effort flies a yard wide. We've seen that many times this season!
