Following Thursday's epic European night at Old Trafford, today's game had the feeling of a pre-season fixture in comparison. Indeed, Ruben Amorim handed a first home start to Harry Amass while Tyler Fredricson made his debut.
If a rotated Manchester United were there for the taking, Wolverhampton Wanderers showed no interest in doing so far the vast majority of the game. It was the home side who had much of the ball but lacked the cutting edge to do anything with it.
