Wolves goalkeeper John Ruddy felt they let themselves down in defeat at FA Cup opponents Manchester United.

Wolves fell to Juan Mata's winner, which came via a defensive mistake.

Ruddy told the club's website, “Disappointed, ultimately. I thought, although we didn't play to our best, I thought we did enough to certainly take it to extra time, or even win the tie, so there's a general feeling of disappointment in there today because it was a good opportunity for us.

“We know how dangerous we can be on the break and, with what we've got up front, we're always going to create chances. I think tonight was more about weathering storms at certain times, being compact and disciplined in our shape, and I thought we did that for the majority of the game.

“I think the goal was literally the only time they probably had a bit of luck, or a break, or a little lapse in concentration from us, and we got punished for it, and that's going to happen."

Pedro Neto had a goal disallowed by VAR and Ruddy continued: “What can you say? Listen, I'm not a fan of VAR, never have been, never wanted it in. It's here, but I just think when you bring something like VAR in, to then change a rule like the handball rule, and make it so minute, is asking for trouble.

“We're seeing time and time again this season that it is costing teams for the smallest of things, we've had it two or three times now with this rule alone. So, yeah, frustrated, but we go on, we know what it's about, but we have to put this to bed and make sure we continue in the league and build some momentum now going forward."
