Nuno had a dream is how the song goes - but it was a group of Wolves fans who were pinching themselves when they saw the boss out for a morning stroll in Manchester.

The head coach, who holds messianic status among supporters, was immediately mobbed after being spotted out and about near Deansgate. And the calm and collected gaffer was only too happy to pose for pictures.

Russ Cockburn, from Albrighton, was with friends before the game against Manchester United when they suddenly noticed none other than Nuno Espirito Santo in his Wolves tracksuit.

The 39-year-old said: "One of my mates said there's Nuno and I was like 'oh yeah, of course'. He was on his own in his Wolves tracksuit. He was more than happy to have a chat with us.

"Most of us said thank you for what he's doing and giving us our club back.

"He seemed quite shy, he was very modest. He always looks focused. He was on his own before the game, probably to get in the zone, he seemed relaxed but focussed.

"He was saying thank you for the support. He would have stayed around for 30 photos if we had asked."

A good day got even better for the Wolves fans as they claimed a deserved point at Old Trafford as the match finished 1-1.
