Email me your thoughts on the action at dan.ripley@dailymail.co.uk[LNB] Wolves 2-1 Manchester United (5.30pm)Wolverhampton: Hennessey, Zubar, Stearman, Berra, Elokobi, Henry, Milijas (Ebanks-Blake 88), Hammill (Ward 64), O'Hara (Foley 59), Jarvis, Doyle.Subs: Hahnemann, Edwards, Craddock, Fletcher.[LNB]Goals: Elokobi 10, Doyle 40.[LNB]Man Utd: Van der Sar, Rafael Da Silva, Evans (Smalling 65), Vidic, Evra, Nani, Fletcher, Carrick (Scholes 46), Giggs, Berbatov (Hernandez 65), Rooney.Subs: Kuszczak, Owen, Anderson, O'Shea.[LNB]Goals: Nani 3.[LNB]Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland)[LNB]19.32: That's all from me on what has been a crazy day in the Premier League.[LNB]You will be bonkers to miss tonight's highlights and even more mad to miss tomorrow's Premier League games between West Ham-Birmingham and the Torres derby between Chelsea and Liverpool which you can follow live with Sportsmail.[LNB]For now though that is all from me, thank you for following.[LNB]19.30: The incredible thing is Wolves remain bottom yet are just two points of safety.[LNB]They and West Ham and Birmingham above them ALL have 24 points from 25 games (23 games in City's case) and the Blues and Hammers clash tomorrow.[LNB]Maybe that magic 40 point mark won't be enough this season after all.[LNB]19.28: So despite throwing away a four goal lead, it's not been an awful day for Arsenal who close the gap to Manchester United at the top to four points but it's the bottom of the table where it gets interesting...[LNB]19.25: What an incredible result! United's unbeaten league run has ended at the Premier League's bottom side.[LNB]Huge cheers from the home crowd at the final whistle almost enough to give any player from Wolves goose bumps.[LNB]Full-time: Wolves 2-1 Manchester United[LNB]90+5min: A huge roar from the crowd as Rooney's last gasp cross into the box is plucked out the air by Hennessey.[LNB]90+3min: Doyle is off for the time being for Wolves after being caught by a Smalling elbow, United piling forward.[LNB]90min: Manchester United have five minutes of 'Fergie time' to grab an equaliser.[LNB]89min: Final sub from Wolves with Sylvan Ebanks-Blake on for Milijas.[LNB]88min: Frustration is showing for the visitors. The ball isn't even in play and Giggs sticks a right boot straight into Doyle who was running away with the ball.[LNB]87min: Penalty claim for United, Evra's cross cannons off Zubar's hand and away to safety. I have seen those given.[LNB]85min: The flag is up but this is a superb save. Giggs' cross is punched by Scholes towards the bottom corner but Hennessey still does superb to tip it around the post with his outstretched hand. The midfielder is booked for a deliberate handball.[LNB]84min: Brilliant defending! The ball is pin-balling around the Wolves defence but it falls to Scholes whose shot is blocked out for a corner. None shall pass this Wolves back line.[LNB]81min: No more subs for Fergie but he changes the system. Hernandez has gone into a lone striker's role with Giggs behind him and Rooney out to the left.[LNB]78min: Good chance for United. Hennessey is beaten to a header by little Hernandez and with the keeper stranded in no man's land, Rooney's follow up effort is blocked out for a corner.[LNB]77min: Too sloppy from United. Giggs and Nani have been toothless on the flanks. Rooney and Hernandez are feeding off scraps.[LNB]74min: United have to be wary of the Wolves counter. Jarvis escapes down the right but his team mates cannot keep up with him and his low ball across the six yard box has no takers.[LNB]71min: Chances are lacking...badly. Great if you're a Wolves fan, bad news if you are a United one. Hennessey has had quite a comfortable afternoon.[LNB]68min: Rooney is booked perhaps a little harshly after a slightly late tackle on Ronald Zubar. Rafael has all fingers back in place by the way.[LNB]65min: United make a double substitution. Evans is replaced by Smalling and Javier Hernandez is on for the disappointing Berbatov.[LNB]64min: A change for Wolves with Stephen Ward replacing the lively Hammill.[LNB]64min: Dear me what is happening to United? They are going down like flies after Rafael in quite some pain seeks the physio to have a dislocated finger put back in. [LNB]62min: United are going to need another change here and unfortunately for them it's not tactically. Evans looks like he is struggling.[LNB]Nightmare for United, of course Evans replaced Ferdinand due to an injury to the latter in the warm up.[LNB] Eye on the ball: O'Hara (left) and Fletcher battle for an aerial ball[LNB]59min: McCarthy knows it too and he brings off the midfielder on loan from Spurs for Kevin Foley.[LNB]56min: O'Hara should long gone down the tunnel. His shot is well blocked but his sliding tackle on Fletcher is ridiculously late and I can't help but feel Michael Oliver has bottled that by not sending him off.[LNB]54min: United starting to show some pressure and Wolves are dropping off, they are not banging on the door yet but you sense an onslaught at some point.[LNB]51min: United look to counter through Darren Fletcher but Jamie O'Hara is having none of it and pulls back the midfielder. He takes one for the team by receiving a booking.[LNB]48min: Very quiet start to the second-half. No reaction from United. Mind you they left it late to score three times at Blackpool.[LNB]Second-half: We are back underway, one change with Paul Scholes replacing Michael Carrick.[LNB]18.26: Jack Wilshere also on twitter:[LNB]Inconsistent refereeing needs to stop. It's killing the game. If Diaby goes..whats the difference between that and Nolan on our keeper!??[LNB]He makes a valid point but a very old one, EVERY side has had injustice on that scale this season.[LNB]18.23: Sportsmail's Neil Moxley on twitter:[LNB]Franco Baldini in the stands at Molineux. As well as Carrick and Rooney, is Jarvis worth a look?[LNB]18.20: Wolves would not have wanted that half to end. They were much the better side after grabbing the equaliser but there is still a long way to go yet.[LNB]Half-time: Wolves 2-1 Manchester United[LNB]45+1min: Two minutes added on.[LNB]45min: Anyone but Nani for United. Rafael's cross finds the winger unmarked but heading is not his strength and it flies over.[LNB]43min: Karl Henry brings down Evans and receives the day's first booking.[LNB] Hunting in packs: Wolves took the lead when Kevin Doyle and George Elokobi both went for the same Nenad Milijas cross to head home for the home side.[LNB]40min: GOAL! WOLVES 2-1 Manchester United[LNB]And boy do they pay! Milijas' inswinging free-kick seems to be headed home by Kevin Doyle but Elokobi may also claim to have gotten a touch. Either way, the Premier League's bottom side have turned it around.[LNB]40min: Wolves are on top here. They win a free-kick on the right side of the box after a Vidic foul.[LNB]37min: So close! Milijas' free-kick takes a massive deflection and completely changes direction just dipping wide of the post with Edwin Van der Sar wrong footed.[LNB]36min: Chance from a set-piece for Wolves after Rafael fouls Milijas 20 yards out central to goal.[LNB]35min: Berbatov goes to meet Patrice's Evra cross in the box but is penalised for pulling back on Berra.[LNB]No different to what the centre-back was doing to Vidic by the way.[LNB] Under pressure: Berbatov (centre) attempts to control the ball in close company to Richard Stearman[LNB]34min: The home fans are enjoying this, it's not lump it up the park football and Wolves are putting together some neat passing moves. they certainly are not playing like a side bottom of the table.[LNB]31min: If Mick McCarthy's plan was to find Matt Jarvis mkII on the the opposite flank in the transfer window then it seems to have worked.[LNB]Like Jarvis, Adam Hammill has really looked lively and it's providing the home side with some good width on both wings.[LNB]29min: That was close. Nani's free-kick from 25 yards out just fails to dip at the last moment as it lands on the roof of the net. It had power but Hennessey may also have just had it covered.[LNB]26min: One to keep an eye on, united are struggling with Wolves long ball over the top and Kevin Doyle especially is looking sharp.[LNB]The Irishman is brought down by Vidic in the box but no penalty is given and it is the right call.[LNB]24min: This suits Wolves. The game has fallen to quite a slow pace as the home side take their time and just boss possession play in midfield.[LNB]21min: Nani again is the creator after his ball to the back post finds Berbatov whose header just loops over. United have the edge but are not dominating as such.[LNB]18min: You see it nearly every game now but it is still a penalty. That's two corners running now that Christophe Berra has unfairly obstructed Nemanja Vidic and refs really need to crack down on what is 'lazy' marking.[LNB]17min: United win a corner after Nani's trickery is followed by a cross that is deflected out. The Portugese winger is in the mood for this one.[LNB]14min: Top game this so far, United back on the attack but Wolves are not sitting back themselves and this almost feels like a cup tie.[LNB] Back in it: Elokobi (3) heads in Wolves' equaliser[LNB]11min: GOAL! WOLVES 1-1 Manchester United[LNB]United are caught sleeping at the Wolves take a quick corner and George Elokobi rises highest to meet Matt Jarvis' cross for the equaliser. It really is raining goals today.[LNB]9min: Not much in the early stages, Wolves putting a few balls in the box but there is not enough bodies challenging it for the home side.[LNB]6min: Wolves have had the air kicked out of them. Dimitar Berbatov's clever flick presents Wayne Rooney with a chance 16 yards out, but his high first time effort is well plucked out of the air by Hennessey.[LNB] Wing wizard: Nani showed great skill before firing United ahead[LNB]3min: GOAL! Wolves 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED[LNB]This is Cristiano Ronaldoesque. Nani advances down the right into the penalty area and he looks to have run of space as he is crowded out.[LNB]But after a quick step-over he makes a yard of space before firing past Wayne Hennessey at his near post. Brilliant goal.[LNB]2min: Wow, it's all Wolves! United are throwing bodies all over the place to get blocks in their own penalty area as Nenad Milijas fires over.[LNB]Kick-off: Away we go.[LNB]17.29: Teams are out to Emerson, Lake and Palmer's 'Fanfare For The Common Man' playing around the stadium. Top song that, I doubt they will play the full version though.[LNB]17.26: Wolves don't exactly do things the easy way either. Their last two wins? Chelsea and Liverpool, they love the big matches.[LNB]17.25: An injury to Rio Ferdinand in the warm up means he will be replaced by Jonny Evans. Chris Smalling steps up to the bench.[LNB]17.23: What a brilliant opportunity for United this evening. A win would take them seven points clear at the top and in pole position to claim the title.[LNB]17.20: Sir Alex Ferguson leaves nothing to chance by naming a strong Manchester United line-up at Wolves.[LNB]Rafael returns at right-back in a side which pairs Wayne Rooney with top scorer Dimitar Berbatov as United aim to maintain their dominance at the top of the table.[LNB]Wolves begin the game bottom of the Barclays Premier League but have the knowledge that United twice needed last-minute goals to beat them at Old Trafford earlier this season.[LNB]17.17: As promised![LNB]Wolverhampton v Man UtdWolverhampton: Hennessey, Zubar, Stearman, Berra, Elokobi, Henry, Milijas, Hammill, O'Hara, Jarvis, Doyle.

Subs: Kuszczak, Owen, Anderson, Hernandez, Scholes, O'Shea, Evans.Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland)[LNB]17.15: Manchester United v Wolves, top v bottom. United with that unbeaten record in hand should be enough to make you run to the bookies with your mortgage in hand on this one. But after what I have already witnessed today, NOTHING is guaranteed.[LNB]Team news in VERY shortly.[LNB] Back on the goal rush: Manchester United's Wayne Rooney hit a brace against Aston Villa mid-week[LNB] Manchester United ready to offer Evra a lifetime deal at Old TraffordMick McCarthy backs defender Ronald Zubar after horror pass condemns Wolves to defeatAll the latest Wolves news, features and opinionAll the latest Manchester United news, features and opinion[LNB] Explore more:People: Nani, Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Alex Ferguson, Wayne Hennessey, Nenad Milijas, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Kevin Doyle, Paul Scholes, Adam Hammill, Mick McCarthy, Edwin Van Der Sar, Matt Jarvis, Karl Henry, Jack Wilshere, Jamie O'Hara, Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher, Kevin Foley, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake Places: Liverpool, Chelsea, Birmingham
