Bailly was immense.
They are so limited.
Dr. Marcus Rashford MBE needs more titles.

This is one of those games you just forget, they come quickly this time of year and both sides are always knackered, they're never classics. Feck the performance, the win is everything.

Always a frustrating slog against Wolves. Glad to get the win however it came, I'd have taken 1-0 before kick off, that's for sure.

I felt we could draw either of Leicester/Wolves but not both, so we have gotten through those games. Could be a huge result when it's all said and done.

Bailly MotM for me. Maguire was also good.

They are the sort of results you need in a title race. Huge 3 points - we’re in the race!

3 points is the most important thing. However some of the same issues we've had against deep lying teams still surfaced.

A lot wrong in that game, but who cares how you win it as long as you do. No idea how we did but got the important 3 points.

These are the games innit?

Excellent win, Wolves deserved nothing, whatever these lot on the tele try telling us. Defensive as feck, time wasting, glad they went home empty handed.

Maguire and Bailly brilliant, De Gea decent.... the rest, utter shite. :lol:

Obviously crap game and all that, but they’ll be absolutely buzzing in the dressing room after that. Hopefully we can take that energy into the next few weeks.

That's something what is needed if you want to achieve great things.

We'll remember that game, I'm pretty convinced. It could be a vital one, too.

Bailly was immense. We defended reasonably well. Needed luck, but sometimes you need that to win the league.
I don't want to think what would have happened with Lindelof and Maguire's pace in a couple of those situations. Bailly made a great contribution to the win today.

It was a great result but a terrible performance. Maybe a bit of festive fatigue has set in, but we played into their hands by being so slow in our movement and passing. If a team is organised you don't disorganise them by playing at walking pace.

Gosh I hate these Wolves feckers! We just can't seem to get on top of them. Worst team to face when we're not quite on our game. How sweet was that late winner eh? Deflected in by maybe the man of the match after screwing us over all game. Come on United! 3 great points. On to the next...

Will take anything, feck Wolves and their anti-football. We weren't great but hope no ones buys in to the 'Wolves were unlucky' talk, they spent the whole bloody match time wasting!

I don’t understand the whole “Wolves deserved a draw” thing. They camped in their half for the whole second half, bar a couple of breaks. Yeah, we struggled to break them down, but they showed no ambition, and we never gave up. They disrupted us and defended brilliantly, but we were the only team trying to win this, and deserved our win. Even if it was ugly. Sometimes that’s the only way to do it.

Great result, absolutely shite game but grinding out a result is something we'd have not managed in recent years. Wolves are a horrible team, bus parked and wasting time from very early on.

That's why you keep Rashford on - even when he doesn't have one of his best days. He's effective. De Gea MOTM. Matic best outfield player.

Shite game, didn’t play well at all but still don’t see it has stealing the game from wolves, on balance Utd deserved the win. And it’s huge. Why anyone thought this game was going to be any different given out last few meetings I have no idea.

2 points off the top. I think most of us would have taken that at start of the season

Get in! Rashford was so tired but gave it his all to the end. He is a true manc, never gives up.

You just need to grind out these results, it is not easy, great result in the end. Well done & well played!

Nothing wrong with winning ugly.

shit performance, but kept going and ground out a result.

important 3 point, and not one person will care about the performance at the end of the season.

Almost all of us said we would take any kind of 3 points before the game.

This is what it is.

We were so so lucky, very poor performance from everyone bar Maguire, Bailey and De Gea. Everyone else far too slow and static.
