Wolves were beaten 1-0 by Manchester United last night in their first Premier League game of the season.
Gary O’Neil, taking his first game after replacing Julen Lopetegui, oversaw a brilliant performance from his side.
Raphael Varane’s header was the difference between the two teams.
Wolves should have had a penalty right at the death when Andre Onana clattered Sasa Kalajdzic as he tried to punch away a cross.
But it somehow wasn’t given, and Wolves fell to an undeserved defeat.
Despite a frustrating loss, there were so many positives to take from the performance.
And one of the biggest for Wolves was just how lively Pedro Neto looked…
Pedro Neto was superb for Wolves against Manchester United
There were lots of solid individual displays last night in the Wolves team.
But Neto was one of the very best players for the visitors.
The Portuguese winger worked his socks off, but was also a constant threat playing on the right wing.
He gave Luke Shaw real problems, and constantly looked to get the ball into the box for Matheus Cunha, and then Fabio Silva and Sasa Kalajdzic when they came on.
The 23-year-old has had injury problems in the last two years but here, he looked really sharp.
According to Squawka, he created four chances and completed four take-ons, suggesting him as being one of the biggest threats in the match.
He also won five duels, which will delight O’Neil.
Neto looked something like his old self against United
It was amazing to watch Neto’s performance last night against United.
He was one of the outstanding players, and he was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.
Arguably, he actually did look a bit like the electric player of a couple of years ago.
He was previously one of the brightest young talents in the Premier League, and Wolves fans will be massively encouraged by his display last night.
If he can finally recapture his form, Wolves are going to improve dramatically in the final third.
