Nuno wants Wolves standards raised for Manchester United

Wolves are hosting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side on Tuesday, just over two weeks after beating them 2-1 in an unforgettable FA Cup quarter-final.

But they enter the Premier League clash on the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Burnley, and Nuno is looking forward to the opportunity to bounce back – and have as much momentum going into Sunday's Wembley semi-final against Watford as possible.

"Of course. Now, we have to recover well and we must analyse the (Burnley) game well," he said.

"Burnley are very organised, very physical.

"We must compete in the same way, and against Manchester United, we must compete better than we did (at Turf Moor).

"This is the competition. We must bounce back and raise our standards, and go again.

"Our next game is against Manchester United on Tuesday, so we have to analyse well what happened (at Burnley) and prepare to compete Tuesday. This is the competition."

Wolves struggled to deal with relegation-battling Burnley's physical approach at Turf Moor.

Some of Nuno's charges were left laying from some hefty challenges dished out by Sean Dyche's side, but the old gold chief had no complaints.

"When I say physical, I mean it was fair," said Nuno.

"Physical is long balls, a direct game. It requires a lot of physical situations, duels."

Wolves appealed wildly for a penalty in the first half as Jonny Castro Otto's strike was blocked by Ashley Barnes.

Several players crowded around referee Chris Kavanagh asking for handball, drawing the ire of the home crowd in the process, but he was not interested.

On the incident, Nuno added: "I didn't see the images but all the players in all the teams all over the world complain.

"All over the world, it's like that."

Meanwhile, Clarets boss Dyche praised his defence for keeping Wolves' attacking players quiet.

"I'm really pleased. We got a little bit deep in the second half, but, although they had some play and have got some good players, they never really got into too many good situations," he said.

"That usually shows the team is performing well on a defensive unit point of view, and the centre-halves certainly played their part.

"That's important. These games are tough games. They saw it off well. They played their part, definitely."
