Raul Jimenez’s strike on the turn and a superb solo effort from Diogo Jota put Wolves on course for victory against a ragged United side lacking the skill, verve and intensity that Solskjaer had instilled.A late Marcus Rashford goal did nothing to lift the mood and the interim manager had no complaints about the result of this quarter-final clash.“It was a big step backwards, I’ve got to say,” Solskjaer said. “That’s the poorest performance since I’ve come here.

I’ve said to them not to you.

Of course, we’re disappointed, everyone is disappointed, but we have got to look forward and look behind the result today.“We’ve done that quite well. We know that we’ve played well against Arsenal last week and didn’t get what we deserved.“Today we got what we deserved because we never deserved to win this game.”The reversal of Victor Lindelof’s red card on the Video Assistant Referee’s advice counted for little and Wolves boss Nuno was understandably delighted after sealed a spot at Wembley.“It means a lot, it means a lot,” the Portuguese said. “The FA Cup is the oldest competition there is.2

Nuno’s side were well deserving of their victory

“We played well and we achieved it with the amazing support of our fans, pushing us and believing in us.“The noise was fantastic, so when you achieve something I see that we did it together.
