HT: Wolverhampton 1-1 Manchester United (Report)… Lukaku, Lingard waste superb chances

The first half of the match between Wolvehampton and Manchester United ended in 1-1 at Molineux after the Old Trafford club drew the first blood.

McTominay scored his first ever Manchester United goal from outside the area to put the visitors ahead. Jota took advantage of some sloppiness from United as they tried to play out from the back to score the equaliser in the 25th minute.

United could have been out of sight after 20 minutes, with Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard spurning superb chances either side of their opening goal.

Scott McTominay fired United in front from the edge of the box to score his first ever goal for the club.

However Wolves fought their way back into the game, largely thanks to an error from Fred in United’s midfielder.

The Brazilian miscontrolled at a crucial moment, allowing Raul Jimenez to steal in before finding Jota to slam the ball past de Gea.

The hosts then went on the offensive, penning United into their own half.

However it was Lukaku who had the best chance before the break, as he peeled into space before shooting inches past the post.
