United took the lead through Fred in the 18th minute before Joao Moutinho levelled the scores in the 53rd minute.

Mourinho was praising of Wolves but not of his own who he felt were below par.

"It was not a good performance (from Manchester United)," said Mourinho.

"It was a fair result. I think Wolves played how I like to play which is like a World Cup final.

"That is the attitude that I like my team to have. They had it and we didn't.

"Wolves were in the game from the first minute. We started poorly and it it difficult to win matches when you are not there."
