Wolves boss Bruno Lage is not happy with Manchester United for their refusal to kick the ball out of play when Ruben Neves went down in their Premier League clash.

The Red Devils escaped Molineux with a fortunate 1-0 win thanks to a second half Mason Greenwood goal.

A Paul Pogba tackle on Neves had led to the Portuguese eventually collapsing on the floor, albeit several moments after the altercation between the two.

United went on to score the winner from the same move, leaving Wolves boss Lage furious.

He said: "I saw his (Neves') leg. For me it is clear. It happened with us in the same situation. Bruno Fernandes was down and Paul Pogba asked Nelson Semedo to put the ball out.

"Nelson put the ball out. In the second half Ruben was down and they shoot on goal. I think in the same situation we have a different way to see it."

"In this period when you have referees, analysts and VAR, there are a lot of people to talk about it. In the same situation we put the ball out. They didn't.

"VAR is there to help the referee. The referee didn't see the foul, the VAR didn't see the foul. Me? I just see the leg of the player."
