"It was 0-0 and we had our better moments in that part of the game, so we decided to bring on Bruno. He had the big chance to put us 1-0 ahead. Mason was good but I had to take somebody off and I didn’t want to take one of our number sixes off [Matic or McTominay] so the question was should I take off Edi or Mason and I decided to take off Mason." *Speaking to Sky Sports
"They were playing almost four or five central midfielders and we had problems to control that part of the pitch and whenever they tried to release their wing-backs, we were also struggling and that’s why we decided to change our formation. They didn’t have as many chances in the second as in the first, but we missed our chances to score, and I think we have to agree that Wolves deserved to win." *Speaking to Sky Sports
"We didn’t play well at all, neither individually nor collectively. In the first half we had big problems to keep them away from our box and from our goal. In the second half, we changed to a different formation with a back three and we had more control. But the goal that we conceded was one of too many this season where [the opponent] could just shoot, completely unmarked. We are very disappointed about the result but also about parts of our performance." *Speaking to Sky Sports
“It’s that balance now, do you put those same players out there and say, ‘go out and put on a good performance like I know you can’ or do you mix it up and give other players that chance to go out there and shine? It will be really interesting to see which way he’ll [Ralf Rangnick] go.”
"I thought Phil Jones was absolutely brilliant. Considering the length of time he's been out with injury, he was fantastic. If there are some positives to take from this game, his performance is definitely one of them."
"United weren't at the races in the first half, the second half was more even but you always felt that one goal would be the difference and it was."

"We didn't create enough chances. I think we created two, and one of those was the Bruno Fernandes free-kick right at the end. Wolves came with a game plan to make it difficult for us, often with 10 players behind the ball. But they deserved to win and Moutinho finished us off after a great move involving Traore. Our performance wasn't good enough and we came unstuck."

FT
The new year starts with defeat for the Reds as Wolves emerge as 1-0 winners at Old Trafford. Joao Moutinho's 82nd-minute strike is the difference despite United's last-gasp attempt to salvage at least a point from the contest through Bruno Fernandes's goal-bound free-kick, which was parried away by visiting goalkeeper Jose Sa. Referee Mike Dean's final whistle went shortly after, unfortunately condemning us to a first defeat under Ralf Rangnick.
