Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the FA Cup quarter-final clash between Wolves and Manchester United at Molineux.
Wolves have reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since the 2002/03 campaign. They defeated Liverpool in the third round before overcoming Shrewsbury after a replay in the fourth. Nuno Espirito Santo's men battled hard in their last outing in the FA Cup, but they pulled off a hard-fought win over Bristol City to set up the clash with United.
United have defeated two of their Premier League rivals to reach this stage of the competition. The club first overcame Reading in the third round, defeating the Championship outfit 1-0 at Old Trafford. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have since beaten Arsenal and Chelsea on the road by comfortable margins. The Red Devils were beaten finalists last year by the Blues and will be determined to reach Wembley once again.
SUBS: Ryan Bennett, Ivan Cavaleiro, Helder Costa, Morgan Gibbs-White, Ruben Vinagre, Will Norris, Adama Traore.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-3-3): Sergio Romero; Diogo Dalot, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw; Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba; Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial.
SUBS: David de Gea, Phil Jones, Juan Mata, Andreas Pereira, Marcos Rojo, Fred, Scott McTominay.
United have struggled to break down Wolves in the first half. The home side have been rigid in their shape and have opted to play on the counter. Paul Pogba has seen a bit of the ball, but has not been on the same page as his strikers. The visitors have to get Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial into the game to support Marcus Rashford through the middle.
Wolves are home after the international break in their Premier League clash against Burnley, while Manchester United take on Watford at Old Trafford next time out.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
