Traore certainly isn't lacking in confidence! He's all alone as he leads a counter, and opts to try his luck from distance, unleashing a powerful strike at goal from close to 30 yards, but it requires something very special to beat De Gea from there.
90' +2
Lukaku with an undisciplined play to stray needlessly offside as a ball is floated in over the top, moments after De Gea did well to kick aside a Traore strike at the other end. A bit of respite for Wolves, as the match moves into the final three minutes.
90'
There will be five minutes added on at the end of this match - not what Wolves wanted to see. It's met by a roar of approval from these fans at Old Trafford.
88'
Bennett crucially gets across in a flash to turn Fellaini aside and force a corner. The resulting delivery is flicked dangerously on by Coady, who is relieved to see it lift over the bar and crash onto the roof of the net! The ensuing delivery is dealt with much more soundly by the visitors, but they're looking fatigued.
87'
M. Gibbs-White enters the game and replaces Diogo Jota.
Gibbs-White is on for the final minutes as the midfielder comes in to replace Jota.
86'
Boly has picked up a bit of a knock following those hectic moments in defence, and Wolves have a sub ready for him, but he signals over to the bench that he's fine and wants to play on. This will allow Nuno to make the change he originally had planned.
84'
It's the hosts who are showing a bit more intent here, with Wolves happier to settle for the draw despite how well they have played today. A dangerous free-kick for the hosts drops into the penalty area right in front of Lukaku, but Boly is quicker to react as he puts in a goal-saving challenge!
80'
R. Saïss enters the game and replaces João Moutinho.
Wolves' second change of the match sees Saiss come into midfield at the expense of Moutinho, in a like-for-like change.
77'
GOOD EFFORT! Pogba lashes a venomous free-kick at goal from just over 25 yards, but Patricio has a clear sight of it the whole way and gets across to make the save and hold on.

Description
75'
Andreas Pereira enters the game and replaces J. Lingard.
Adama Traoré enters the game and replaces Hélder Costa.
Adama Traore, who scored the winner off the bench in Wolves' last away match at West Ham, is on for the final 15 minutes here, replacing Costa.
With Rashford unavailable through suspension, United turn to their last attacking option off the bench as Pereira comes on at the expense of Lingard.
73'
Pushing back are United now, who don't look at all likelier to score at the moment. This looks as though it could go either way really at the moment, as it remains perfectly balanced and delicately poised. The hosts haven't had much success trying to break down this Wolves defence, however.
69'
Decent hit, that! The ball is knocked back to Ruben Neves in all sorts of space 25 yards out and he only has eyes for goal. The accuracy is good, but the power is lacking a bit, as De Gea is able to scramble across to make another save.
67'
Speculative effort from Lingard, but a well-struck one in the end as Patricio can only knock his strike over the bar for a corner. The ensuing set-piece results in some good pressure, but the offside flag denies Lukaku a chance which he squandered anyhow.
65'
Pressure stays on following a Wolves corner and Jota does well to dart inside from the left and drive a strike towards the near post, but it just lacks the desired power as De Gea is able to get across to make the save.
63'
Mata enters the game and replaces A. Sánchez.
A. Martial enters the game and replaces Fred.
Two changes for United with just under 30 minutes left. Sanchez is replaced here by Mata, who will play down the right.
Martial will take up Sanchez's vacant space on the left, as he comes on for scorer Fred.
62'
Pogba is hungry for goals following his brace in midweek, and he looks for another here with a thunderous strike from distance, but narrowly misses the far post from 30 yards.
61'
Rúben Neves gets yellow.
Neves picks up a yellow card and that has been coming. He's committed quite a few fouls in this match, and this one to impede the run of Pogba rather cynically sees him into the book at last.
59'
The tempo is back at Old Trafford as the two sides exchange attack after attack. Lukaku does well to find space on the right at one end, but his cross leaves plenty to be desired as it's lifted into the waiting arms of Patricio.
57'
Wolves have a spring in their step, beaming with confidence as they look for more. Costa drives forward on a probing run and makes a small step over to open space for a shot against Lindelof, but he skies his effort!
55'
It's game on at Old Trafford as Wolves are back on level terms, with Manchester United's Premier League unbeaten record when leading at half-time at Old Trafford under threat. Sanchez does well to win a free-kick as they look for a response, but it's dealt with soundly by the visitors.
53'
João Moutinho has scored a goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers! Assist by R. Jiménez.
Great vision and hold-up play from Jimenez to provide the assist there.
WOLVES HAVE THE GOAL THEY'VE DESERVED! 1-1! Parity restored at Old Trafford! Costa does an excellent job of guiding a pass into the centre for Jimenez, while off balance, and the striker lays it off unselfishly for Moutinho who hammers a first-time finish into the top corner from 15 yards for his first Wolves goal!
52'
Manchester United are unbeaten in all 271 Premier League matches in which they were leading at half-time.
50'
Excellent defensive work! Jimenez swings a delicious ball in from the right for Jonny, who is all alone on the edge of the penalty area, but in the blink of an eye Valencia is back with cover and snuffs out the chance brilliantly!
48'
The second half begins with Manchester United on the front foot, but they're held admirably in check by this stingy Wolves defence. Chances could prove hard to come by for them in this second half, but eventually the visitors will have to press on.
46'
Back underway at Old Trafford! No changes to either side at the break.
45' +2
STUNNING HIT! An absolutely superb effort from Fred looks destined for the top corner, but Patricio matches the effort with an extraordinary stop to somehow keep the midfielder from doubling his account!
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 WOLVES.
45' +1
We will have a bit more than the one minute added on as just before time is about to expire, Sanchez is fouled on the top edge of the penalty area. Better chance for United here...
45'
Sanchez gets some looks from his team-mates as he lashes a dreadful free-kick miles high and wide of the goal. That's a wasted opportunity for the hosts. Meanwhile, the fourth official indicates there will be one minute added on at the end of this match.
44'
Delightful from Pogba as his ball over the top picks out the run of Shaw, and it results in a free-kick on the left edge of the penalty area as a handball from Jimenez, albeit a bit of a harsh one, doesn't go unpenalised by the referee.
40'
L. Shaw gets yellow.
Moments later and the pressure is on again, with Shaw conceding a free-kick and seeing yellow for a cynical foul to stop a threatening break.
HAD TO BE BETTER! That's the sort of interplay that will get Wolves back on level terms. Some very instinctive one-touch football sees them carve open a big chunk of space, but Costa's little dink over the top for Doherty is overhit as the ball runs behind for a goal-kick.
38'
Under a relentless high press from United, Wolves do an excellent job of passing their way out of a tight spot in defence. They slow a bit in transition, however, as some negative build-up allows the hosts to get their shape back. Wolves really do look more comfortable on the counter.
36'
Fred has been excellent at both ends for United. When Wolves do break, the midfielder has provided some excellent defensive support, doing so once again here to thwart the run of Jota. He will grab the headlines for his goal, but his defensive play should not be overlooked.
34'
Following a tidy bit of interplay in the attacking third from United, Wolves break threateningly with Costa sent on a chase down the right. Shaw shows incredible closing speed, however, catching and passing the attacker as he's able to knock the ball away and snuff out the threat.
30'
United know they very much have a game on their hands here. They've been unable to commit too many bodies forward due to the threat posed by Wolves on the break. A few decent attacks for the visitors put Smalling and company to work, but the United defence does well to deal with it, as they each result in goal-kicks.
28'
Wolves have soaked up the pressure quite well, denying United even half a look at goal despite a long period of possession. The visitors are looking quite confident still, despite being a goal behind. They certainly look capable of having their say in this one still.
26'
The other thing that's happened since Fred's goal is the tempo has dropped off in a big way. United have no qualms taking a patient approach, which Wolves are starting to play a bit more cautious. The combination of the two has seen the pace drop off quite a bit.
24'
That opening goal has really helped to settle United, who are camped out in the attacking half now. Wolves are starting to drop a bit deeper, seeing less of the ball as that early threat is quickly fading.
22'
That is really quite harsh on Wolves, who had made an excellent start to the match and looked altogether untroubled in defence. But with the quality in United's side, the visitors can't afford even a slight dip in focus, because that's what can happen.
18'
Fred has scored a goal for Manchester United! Assist by P. Pogba.
An incredibly smart and deft touch from Pogba made that all possible, as the World Cup winner provides the assist.
AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY, UNITED TAKE THE LEAD! 1-0! It's certainly come against the run of play, but Mourinho won't care one bit as Fred scores his first goal with the club, swiveling expertly to drive a low finish into the bottom corner! That was a delicious touch from Pogba to tee him up.
16'
Well Wolves really do look a well-oiled machine in the final third. Their movement off the ball, as well as their work rate, have both been exceptional. They're putting United under real pressure with every opportunity. This time Boly meets a corner and bounces a strong header at goal, but it's straight at De Gea who parries.
14'
Everyone's attention draws to Boly as the corner comes in, which allows Bennett time and space to meet the delivery. Pogba doesn't do well enough in marking him, giving the centre-half what is essentially a free header, but he snatches at the gift of a chance, lifting over the bar.
13'
Shaw whiffs at a clearance attempt on the flank allowing Jimenez, who has been very active up top, to run in behind and whip in a cross, but Smalling does well to get across with cover, knocking the ball behind for a corner.
11'
It's been a real struggle for the hosts to try and create much through the opening 10 minutes, as they've yet to ask Rui Patricio to play a part. This is a Wolves side that have kept three successive clean sheets across all competitions, while conceding just once against Manchester City. They sure know how to defend.
7'
TERRIFIC STOP! That's an excellent piece of goalkeeping from De Gea, who reacts superbly to kick a leg out and deny Jimenez's powerful low strike from 10 yards! Another well-worked move from the visitors, who look a real threat early on.
5'
Another threatening Wolves attack proves a warning for the hosts, as Jimenez volleys wide. But United transition with excellent pace as they win their first corner of the match. Wolves deal with it, but the pressure is staying on here.
3'
A positive start is made by Wolves, who win a corner inside the first 30 seconds. United deal with the threat well, however, and are now settled into possession as they look to adopt a bit of rhythm into their approach.
1'
AND THEY'RE OFF! Wolves are in white as they get the match underway, with Manchester United in red tops and black shorts.
Manchester United seemed to have righted the ship. Successive defeats to Brighton and Spurs to close out August had Jose Mourinho on the hotseat as the club was sent into a state of panic, but three straight wins away from home have helped calm the stormy waters.
Now the Red Devils return to the friendly confines of Old Trafford, where they will play four of their next five matches, as they aim to ride this wave of momentum and claw their way back into the top four.
Having been made to wait for the first victory of the season upon their Premier League return, Wolves won at the fourth time of asking, and have now managed to string together successive league wins, as well as clean sheets, following an impressive draw at home to Manchester City.
Wolverhampton sit just one point and one place back of United in the Premier League standings. They haven’t won since 1980 at Old Trafford, but victory today would legitimise Nuno Espirito Santo’s side as top-six challengers.
CONFIRMED TEAM NEWS:
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-3-3): David De Gea; Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw; Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini, Fred; Jesse Lingard, Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku.
SUBS: Juan Mata, Scott McTominay, Anthony Martial, Sergio Romero, Andreas Pereira, Eric Bailly, Ashley Young.
SUBS: Adama Traore, Romain Saiss, Morgan Gibbs-White, Leo Bonatini, Kortney Hause, Ruben Vinagre, John Ruddy.
Mourinho makes four changes from Wednesday's Champions League victory at Young Boys. Lingard and Valencia return to the side after being rested in midweek, taking the place of Diogo Dalot and Martial. Rashford and Matic miss out through suspension, and are replaced in the side by Fellaini and Sanchez.
Nuno names the same starting XI for the sixth successive Premier League match. Jimenez scored the lone goal in the win over Burnley and leads the line again, while Traore, who scored the winner at West Ham off the bench, again sees his name among the substitutes.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of this Premier League match as Manchester United welcome Wolves to Old Trafford!
David De Gea has made some big saves at the other end as well, with Wolves looking particularly lively on the break, suggesting this one is far from over just yet.
Fred's first Manchester United goal has them leading through 45 minutes, and on course for a fourth successive win across all competition. He nearly doubled his account, and the Red Devils' lead, with a mesmerising free-kick just before the break, but Rui Patricio's wonderful effort has kept Wolves within touching distance.
Three-match winning runs come to an end for both sides as Nuno Espirito Santo frustrates his former manager Jose Mourinho as his side secure a deserved point at Old Trafford. Wolves will certainly be the happier of the two sides, while it's back to the drawing board for Manchester United as their struggles at Old Trafford continue.
Joao Moutinho's second-half strike cancelled out Fred's opener, with both players scoring their first goals for their respective clubs. That's all for our live coverage, thanks for following along! Goodbye.
