Paul Pogba missed a second-half penalty for Manchester United while Ruben Neves scored a worldie for Wolverhampton Wanderers as the two teams played a pulsating 1-1 draw at the Molineux Stadium in week 2 of the English Premier League.
With United looking to follow up their fantastic 4-0 home win against Chelsea last Sunday Wolves dented their hopes of attaining a possible 6 points out of 2 games.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer boys who twice suffered defeats at the Molineux Stadium last season broke the virginity of the game through Anthony Martial 9th minute strike, which is the Frenchman's 50th goal for the club since joining from Monaco in 2015.
He could have extended the lead for his side before half time but was slow pull the trigger as Conor David Coady dispossessed him of the ball.
Nuno EspÃrito Santo troops after the recess took the game to Manchester United and they almost fetched the equalizer when Raul Jimenez header came off the cross back from a free-kick.
Moments later, Ruben Neves scored a beauty in the 56th minute to make the game even. With United in search of the winner, Pogba won himself a penalty and missed the opportunity to restore the lead for his side.
Manchester United will on Saturday host Crystal Palace at Old Trafford while Wolves welcome Burnley to the Molineux Stadium on Sunday.
Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to the BBC's Match of the Day said:Â "I'm pleased with the performance. In the first half United controlled the game and pressed very high. In the second half the reaction was very good. I'm proud of all the performance.
"Adama Traore helped the team when he came on. He's about that. The squad is about managing the options you have.
"When Neves lined up the shot for the equaliser I was hoping, not expecting. He has fantastic technique."
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said:Â "We dominated possession, we gott the first goal and second half we know they'll come out like a house on fire.
"They probably got the goal they deserve. I thought we took control again and could have won it.
"First half was a mature performance. Second half was a bit sloppy. We are improving. We are a young team who will learn, we learned on the pitch today.
"We get a penalty that normally would get us another two points, sometimes the keeper makes a good save."Â
