Here is how the Twitter reacted as Manchester United crash out of the FA Cup following a 2-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Manchester United faced their second defeat on a bounce under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium. The Red Devils’ hopes of lifting a silverware have taken a huge hit as Nuno Santo’s side have blown them away too easily at their own backyard.

There was not much action in the first half as both the sides created very fewer chances until Diogo Jota was not able to slot the ball into the back of the net when he was one-v-one with Sergio Romero. The hosts kept on tapping on the door of the Red Devils defense and finally got the reward through the leading scorer Raul Jimenez.

The Mexican International prosecuted with perfection when he was surrounded by many players. The Wolverhampton Wanderers striker was able to slot past from a tight angle and give the lead for the hosts.

Following the goal, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men kept on piling pressure on the defense of Wolverhampton. But, they were not able to break down the resilient backline which held up well to shut down the attackers.

The delivery from the corner was cleared by the front man in the penalty box which went straight to Luka Shaw who was the last man for the Red Devils. The left-back slotted the ball in with good intention, but the ball did not have much pace on.

The English International was then beaten by Diogo Jota who counter-attacked with great speed to beat Sergio Romero. The Argentine International was very lamenting and failed to close down the near post when the Portuguese International slotted past him.

Nuno Santo’s side were the better side and deserved to go through to the next round of the competition. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Manchester City, and Watford are the three clubs to have qualified for the last four of the FA Cup. Brighton and Millwall will play against each other on Sunday in a high voltage clash.

With this defeat, Manchester United have lost their third game under their interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer whose primary aim will be to finish in the top four of the Premier League.

Here is how Twitter reacted to Manchester United bowing out of the FA Cup to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
