Wolves boss Nuno was pleased with their improved second-half performance for their 0-0 draw with FA Cup opponents Manchester United.

Despite Wolves having the ball in the back of the net when Matt Doherty's header beat Sergio Romero which was then disallowed for a handball by the Irishman, the head coach believed his side created enough chances to have earned more out of the third round tie.

Nuno said, “It was tough, but a good performance. Quality – sometimes there were moments, mistakes certainly, it wasn't easy to play football, but I think we played better in the second-half.

“In the first-half Manchester United had the ball, we created a lot of situations, and maybe we had chances because they didn't have players in the box. All the players coming out created us a lot of problems, to press, to recover and I think we did much better in the second-half.

“We controlled the game, dominated possession and had some good combinations, so I'm happy with that. But it was a tough game, against a very difficult team who are very organised, there were not too many spaces, but we have another one to go.

“We have to go, we want to compete. We play, we recover, we play. We are ready for it."

He continued: “I want replays, we want to go to Old Trafford and compete, but if you'd ask me my preference, I'd go straight to penalties. The game would become more emotional, for sure. The FA Cup would be more emotional if it went straight to penalties as both teams would go for it.

“But I think that we did enough. We played good, the second-half we created a lot of situations, we recovered the ball very high.

“Every time the players of Manchester United were under pressure, they went for the long pass and we controlled that. This allowed us to keep us on the front foot."
