Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy has admitted that he got his tactics wrong at Old Trafford this afternoon.

McCarthy's side lost 4-1 against Manchester United and the boss has conceded that he sent his team out to be too offensive.

"I chose to be positive with a 4-4-2 and have a go at them and unfortunately for me and us they were better than us," McCarthy told BBC Five Live. "I thought we could have done better to block the shots.

"We got back into the game and we all thought we could get something out of it but maybe thinking that was our undoing."

Wolves are now 16th in the Premier League table, three points above the relegation zone.
