Nuno
Espirito Santo's side, in their first quarter-final since 2003, fully deserved
their victory as United produced their worst performance under the interim
management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
United
goalkeeper Sergio Romero, in for David de Gea, had kept United level with
brilliant saves from Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez either side of the interval,
before the Mexican striker swivelled in the area to finally give Wolves the
reward their domination merited with 20 minutes remaining.
Wolves were
rampant and it was no surprise when the dangerous Jota doubled their lead six
minutes later, shrugging off United's Luke Shaw on the break before shooting
low past the exposed Romero.
United
defender Victor Lindelof was shown a red card by referee Martin Atkinson for a
touchline challenge on Jota, but it was downgraded it to yellow after a VAR
review and, even though Marcus Rashford pulled one back in stoppage time,
Wolves were worthy winners.
