Wolves stalls Man Utd's progress
Sir Alex Ferguson was in attendance for the first time since undergoing brain surgery in May as Fred became the 500th different player to score a competitive goal for United when he drilled home the opener, wonderfully set up by Paul Pogba in the 18th minute.
Wolves did not let United's opener unsettle them, though, as they remained a real threat and engineered a deserved equaliser for Moutinho in the 53rd minute.
United pressed for the winner, but could not find a way past a stubborn Wolves side who were more than good value for the point that keeps them in the top half.
United sit fifth, eight points behind leaders Liverpool, after a disappointing afternoon that means they've have dropped six points from seven Premier League games at Old Trafford against newly-promoted opposition under Jose Mourinho.
The result dents recent good work from United, who had overcome back-to-back defeats at the end of August by going on a three-match winning streak on the road.
