Manchester United 0 Wolves 1 - Liam Keen and Nathan Judah analysis

Transcript

00:00Hello, I'm Nathan Duda, I'm here with Wolverhampton Wanderers reporter, Mr Liam McKean.

00:13Liam, Manchester United nil, Wolverhampton Wanderers won.

00:18Five consecutive Premier League wins, Wolves up to join 13th in the Premier League, the

00:24double over Manchester United.

00:26Wolves officially safe from relegation this season.

00:30I can't quite believe what I'm watching, it is unbelievable.

00:33So, with it for which is win, sorry, loss against Arsenal, as you say, Wolves are, one, officially

00:38safe from relegation, two, first league double over Man United since 1979-80 season, 45 years

00:46ago.

00:47First time they've won five top-flight games in a row since 1970, six unbeaten.

00:53What else can you say?

00:54I mean, he's absolutely astonishing.

00:56He's done a fantastic job.

00:5719th in the table before he was appointed.

01:00Before that Leicester City game, 19th.

01:02It is an astonishing turnaround.

01:04And all credit goes to him, but these players as well.

01:07Even, let's be honest, Wolves were not at their best today.

01:10They had to soak up a decent amount of pressure from an average fan from Manchester United side

01:14for quite some time.

01:15They brought their big boys on.

01:17They brought Bruno Fernandes on.

01:18They brought Dalo on.

01:19They brought Mount on.

01:20And, yeah, it was Wolves who had the quality to finish the game and seal all three points.

01:26Magnificent for those fans down there.

01:27Yeah.

01:27I mean, the fans went mental, deservedly so, because any...

01:30Some bruise might have gone a bit.

01:32You did sort of lunge at me and grab me as it went in.

01:36There's a couple, you know, United faces looking in our direction when that goal went in.

01:39A little bit gone.

01:40But can you blame us?

01:42Can you blame those fans?

01:42Because that, you know, this was a game that was pretty drab.

01:45Yeah.

01:45It wasn't a great game of football.

01:47Wolves won out their best.

01:48United, let's go on.

01:49Are pretty rubbish.

01:50If Wolves were against a better side today, they might have been losing the game at half-time.

01:54And, yeah...

01:55Well, that's the sound of a good side that they don't play.

01:57Exactly, exactly.

01:58But you needed that little moment of quality.

02:00Something just to open the game up.

02:02And, my God, did Pablo Sarabia find it.

02:04I mean, that is a beautiful, beautiful finish.

02:06Left-footed, right to Anana's left, right in the top corner.

02:11It's a gore to strike.

02:13Ryan Aitnori looked very, very upset that he wasn't taking the free kick.

02:16Cunha sort of was consoling him when he wasn't taking it.

02:19And he had a wry smile on his face as he ran towards the away end as Sarabia celebrated.

02:24But, my God, what a finish.

02:25And, look, we said this last time that Sarabia had a starring role in Wolves getting a massive win.

02:30If that's the last time he has a big contribution, then fair play.

02:33If that's the last time now, before he particularly...

02:34He's probably happy for that to be his last goal in England.

02:39That's to be the last one.

02:40And if it is, what a way to go out.

02:41What a finish.

02:42Yeah, look, Wolves obviously had injuries today as well.

02:46Missing Jean-Marie de Bellegarde, Matt Doherty on the bench as well.

02:49And then they lose the keeper minutes before kick-off.

02:52Dan Bentley comes in.

02:53Just a word from him today, because he didn't have loads to do.

02:56It was pretty safe.

02:57But, you know, he has started to defend some set-pieces.

02:59A couple of decent tip-overs.

03:00Was strong all day.

03:01And for him to win that with a clean shoot, I mean a lot to him.

03:03Yeah, it will.

03:04And I think the word I would use would be assured.

03:07I thought he looked very comfortable.

03:09I thought he was very good with distribution, actually.

03:11From a few corners, because Ericsson, we said this during the game.

03:13You tweeted it during the game.

03:14United's biggest threat was coming from dead ball situations.

03:17Ericsson, who may not be quite the player he was physically, has got a fantastic delivery.

03:21And he was causing Wolves some problems with that.

03:23And Bentley, particularly with a few really dangerous corners in that first half, dealt with it really, really well.

03:27He commanded his box.

03:28He was very strong.

03:28So, yes, he didn't have a lot to do in terms of shot stopping.

03:31But what he did do was assured, it was confident, it was comfortable.

03:35And Wolves got through.

03:36And, look, it was a moment of quality that won it.

03:37And this party is going to be going on back in Wolverhampton, I'm sure, when VTor gets back to the Midlands.

03:44We love him, but he's made a rod for his own back now, because he's got to go out.

03:46He's got to go get a drink now.

03:47You can't not go out.

03:48He went out after an Ipswich win.

03:50He's got to go out after double over Manchester United.

03:52Exactly.

03:52Double over Manchester United.

03:53There's going to be a guard of honour going to Wetherspoons tonight.

03:56We'll be there as well.

03:57You know, we don't mind a pint.

03:58If he's buying.

03:59Yeah, definitely.

04:00Well, I mean, the fans were chanting, it's all around VTor.

04:03It's going to be packed on Easter Sunday before Easter Monday.

04:05It's going to be packed, mate.

04:05Oh, my God.

04:06It's going to be mugged.

04:07There's more work for me tonight, isn't it?

04:08We're going to have all the pub tweets going on.

04:09I'm going to be at my desk until midnight.

04:11Well, it's got to do some work for us.

04:12Oh, it's astonishing.

04:13So, yeah, look, I mean, it was a really poor drab game of football for 90% of it.

04:19But our bit of quality unlocked it.

04:20And now we're going away with smiles on our faces.

04:23This Wolves team are in an unbelievable place from where they were.

04:27They've come on leaps and bounds.

04:29There's a lot of individual performances there that weren't particularly great today,

04:32if we're being brutally honest.

04:33But the win seals it off as a remarkable few months for this team.

04:38I mean, VTor's done some job.

04:40And look, I mean, you don't want to count your chickens.

04:42It's one game at a time.

04:42But Leicester City at home next week, you go for six in a row.

04:45Six wins in a row.

04:46In that 1970 year, they actually did win six in a row that year.

04:50So they can match that with a win over Leicester.

04:52And then we've got to do some more research if they win the next one,

04:54which is Man City, of course, away on a Friday night,

04:56for what the record is then.

04:58But I mean, if they continue to break records, continue to win games,

05:00continue to get points, they could finish 13th this season.

05:04I mean, it could be a real remarkable turnaround

05:06from what VTor inherited back in December.

05:09On Easter Sunday, VTor Pereira has resurrected Wolverhampton Wanderers.

05:14Manchester United 0, Wolverhampton Wanderers 1 from the Theatre of Dreams.

05:19For all the post-match reaction, make sure you log on to Express and Star.

05:23You really built this up.

05:25Dot com!

05:26That was very loud.
