Wolves fans react to Nelson Semedo’s performance against Manchester United

Wolves fans have been lavishing praise on Nelson Semedo, after he put in a fantastic performance last night against Manchester United.

Wolves have started off 2022 the right way, beating the Red Devils 1-0 at Old Trafford and exacting revenge after the previous meeting.

Mason Greenwood hit the winner back in August at Molineux, and Wolves should really have won that day.

But here they got the job done and playing some brilliant football to boot.

Wolves had 15 shots on target in the first-half alone, with United far inferior to the visitors in every department.

After the break though, the hosts showed a bit more intent going forwards.

Bruno Fernandes hit the bar, which breathed life into the crowd.

But in the 82nd minute, substitute Adama Traore crossed the ball and the headed clearance fell to Joao Moutinho on the edge of the box.

The veteran killed the ball and made no mistake with the finish into the bottom corner.

There were fantastic displays in old gold all over the pitch. Daniel Podence was named the man of the match by Sky Sports.

But someone else who really stood out was Nelson Semedo.

Semedo was a constant outlet at Old Trafford.

He kept cropping up in extremely advanced positions, especially in the first-half.

He gave Luke Shaw real trouble, and how he finished the game without a goal or an assist is a real surprise.
