Wolves Pups XI upset fans

Wolves fans have blasted manager Mick McCarthy for gifting Manchester United a 3-0 win on Tuesday by fielding a team made up almost entirely of reserve players. In fact the XI put out by the Irishman at Old Trafford did not feature one single outfield player that featured in Saturday’s impressive win over Tottenham. Furious Wolves fans, who had paid top prices for their seats, chanted: "Forty quid to watch the reserves" and "we want our money back". But McCarthy was unrepentant. "That was my best team available because they were all fresh legs. They were my best 11 players," he said. "I would hope the fans would understand what I have done. At the end of the day my decisions will be judged on whether we stay in the Premier League."
