Wolves boss Lage hails Moutinho for winner at Man Utd

Wolves manager Bruno Lage has hailed Joao Moutinho after Monday's win over Manchester United.

The 35-year-old scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute at Old Trafford.

Lage said after the game: “I can just say good things about Joao. Look at the way he comes every day to training, he's a fantastic player. A top player with a long career.

“He's hungry. He wants to continue to win and improve himself – he's one of the good examples we have here.

“He's already had a solid career but even if you do a five against five exercise Joao wants to win, this is the kind of mentality I want in my team. Guys who come with a big personality and a big ambition."
