Man United: Solskjaer brands Wolves match as 'poor'
United went down 2-1 at Molineux with Diego Jota and Raul Jimenez sending the hosts through to their first first FA Cup semi-final for 21 years and their first cup quarter-final win since 2003.
And Manchester United were lucky to end the game wit all 11 players, with VAR saving Swedish centre-back Lindelof from being sent off.
In the closing stages of the game, Lindelof took out Jota, causing referee Martin Atkinson to show the United player a red card.
Atkinson believed Lindelof had denied Jota a clear goalscoring opportunity with a reckless foul.

And it looked like he used it to express his anger towards the Wolves bench, shouting: “Vai tomar no cu, vai tomar no cu, filho da puta!”
In English that roughly translates to: “Go f**k yourself, son of a b****!”
Wolves have a strong Portuguese-speaking contingent, starting with manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Goalscorer Jota, midfielders Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho, substitute Helder Costa and unused subs Ivan Cavaleiro and Ruben Vinagre all come from Portugal.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was disappointed with his side’s performance, but did single out goalkeeper Sergio Romero for praise.
“Sergio made some fantastic saves - he’s played really well again,” Solskjaer said.
“But that’s disappointing because they had the better of the chances. They deserved the win.
“Sergio kept us in the game with a fantastic performance from him again but we never put their keeper under pressure.”
