Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Premier League newcomers Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford and Marouane Fellaini admitted the entire Red Devils squad was disappointed with the result on Saturday.

Speaking to MUTV after the tie in Manchester, the gangly Belgian didn’t hold back in his assessment of the match as he admitted Jose Mourinho’s men didn’t do enough to secure three points:

New signing Fred got the hosts off to a perfect start in the 18th minute itself, but United failed to build on their early momentum and effectively sat back for most parts of the tie.

Wolves had already taken a point off Manchester City this season and they kept persisting for an equaliser, which eventually came in the 53rd minute via Joao Moutinho.
