After many tipped them for relegation this year, Wolves have been backed for survival after a strong display against United.
Despite earlier predictions by bettors that Wolves would finish in the Premier League's bottom three, they delivered an eye-catching performance in their narrow 1-0 defeat to Man United yesterday.
During Gary O’Neil’s Wolves managerial debut, his side created more scoring opportunities, showcased superior footballing skills and were unfortunate not to secure a point at Old Trafford.
Prior to the season's start, many anticipated a challenging campaign for Wolves due to a managerial change close to the season's beginning and a quiet summer in the transfer market.
