The Reds and the Wolves faced off at Old Trafford, where they battled to secure a point each on Tuesday evening.
Wolverhampton opened the scoring with a goal from Joshua Zirkzee in the 26th minute, but Manchester United equalized just before halftime through Ladislav Krejci, who found the back of the net in the 44th minute.
During the first half, Benjamin Sesko had a golden opportunity to extend the lead for the visitors but was thwarted by the woodwork in the 37th minute.
Ladislav Krejci was undoubtedly the standout player of the match, impressively contributing not only with a goal but also with two crucial defensive clears.
Manchester United’s forward, Benjamin Sesko, also shone during the match, registering six shots on target and completing nine successful passes.

On the other side, Wolverhampton’s manager Rob Edwards chose a 3-6-1 formation with José Sá in goal; defending trio Matt Doherty, Yerson Mosquera, and Ladislav Krejci; midfielders Jackson Tchatchoua, Jhon Arias, João Gomes, Hugo Bueno, Mateus Mane, and Hwang Heechan; and Toluwalase Arokodare as the lone striker.
The match was officiated by referee Thomas Bramall.
