Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey insists the relationship between manager Mick McCarthy and owner Steve Morgan has not suffered over a reserve team being fielded in the 3-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at Manchester United. He said: "There are no problems at all between Mick and Steve.

"As has always been the case since he arrived at the club, Steve has a very strong relationship with the manager and that remains.

"Nothing should be read into the fact that the chairman has chosen not to say anything publicly.

"Steve has consistently and deliberately kept a low media profile since he took over, talking occasionally rather than commenting on day-to-day issues. That duty falls to me.

"The chairman is the busiest man I know, but dialogue regularly takes place between the three of us. We work hard on maintaining healthy relationships within the club because it's important to be unified."
