WOLVES STUN MANCHESTER UNITED TO REACH SEMI FINAL

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has described Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Wolves as a “big step backwards”.

The Red Devils were entirely outplayed by Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, who scored second-half goals through Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota to seal a last-four spot.

Marcus Rashford scored a consolation goal deep into stoppage time, but it was too little, too late for an insipid United side, who have now lost back-to-back games after their heroic Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain.

Solskjaer had no complaints with the result and was left to bemoan his side’s poor passing and inability to break their hosts down. He gave in to the fact that the team started slowly and were not quick enough.

Nuno, on the other hand was delighted with his side’s display and hailed their composure as they booked a first FA Cup semi-final appearance since the 1997-98 season.
