OGS THRILLED
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted to finish the Premier League season unbeaten away from home.
“I’m very happy. We created chances and got the win we deserved.
“Elanga could have had two before. But he was confident enough to get in there again. He’s got a bright future ahead of him.
“Our home form hasn’t been the greatest but to go a season undefeated [away from home] is something to be proud of.
“We’re talking to Juan Mata [about a new contract]. I don’t give him enough game time but he’s a top professional.”
NUNO’S GOODBYE
Nuno Espirito Santo paid tribute to the Wolves fans after his last game in charge.
He told Sky Sports: “It was very special and very emotional. I will miss it.
“I thanked my coaches for all their commitment.
“Having fans here means football is back.
“What do I want to? Now, I want to rest. Everyone will have a break and be with their families. Then, let’s see what the future holds.
“We had bad injuries to important players. But we found solutions. It was a tough season. When I reflect on it, I’m very proud.”
MATA TIGHT-LIPPED
Juan Mata refused to be drawn into speculation on his future with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
He told Sky Sports: “In three days we have an important game which is where my mind is. I still feel I can play good football.
“I know what I want. I’m still hungry to play football.
“I thought it was a good performance. We made a lot of changes with some young players who showed they could play at this level.
“We have a very important game on Wednesday. This is good preparation, both physically and mentally.
“He [Anthony Elanga] is a very good player. He has a good attitude and he works hard in training. I’m very happy for him.
“I felt it was a penalty. The defender clearly kicked Donny [van de Beek].”
FAREWELL NUNO
Nuno Espirito Santo is in tears as he applauds the Wolves fans. He gets a guard of honour from his squad.

HT: WOLVES 1-2 MANCHESTER UNITED
An eventful 45 minutes in Nuno Espirito Santo’s last game in charge of Wolves. Anthony Elanga headed the visitors in front in the 13th minute with his first goal for United on only his second start.
Nelson Semedo then levelled in the 39th minute with his first goal for Wolves.
But Mike Dean then got involved, awarding United a hugely debatable penalty in stoppage time after Donny van de Beek tumbled as Romain Saiss swung out a leg.
Juan Mata scored from the spot in what could be his final league appearance for the Red Devils.
