22:39 - Martinez's Disappointment
Lisandro Martinez, Manchester United's defender, expressed his frustration to Sky Sports: 'It's really disappointing. We can't settle for a draw at home. We need to dominate and make our opponents suffer. This is incredibly frustrating.'
22:33 - Amorim's Reflection
Ruben Amorim, Manchester United's manager, acknowledged the team's struggles: 'We lacked creativity throughout the game. We knew it would be different from the Newcastle match. The energy was there, but the fluidity wasn’t due to a lack of connections.'
22:26 - Wolves' First Point Since October
Wolves secured their first point since October 5, when they drew 1-1 with Brighton. Despite their position near the bottom of the table, this result offers a glimmer of hope. And this is the part most people miss: the players are showing resilience under Rob Edwards, and there’s potential for improvement.

22:13 - Neville's Perspective
Gary Neville, former Manchester United defender, offered his insight on Sky Sports: 'Every team is dealing with injuries and AFCON absences. I’m puzzled by the Zirkzee substitution. If he’s not injured, it’s a strange call.'
