Nuno Espirito Santo Says No Need To Rest

Nuno Espirito Santo says he never considered resting players as Wolves inflicted another 2-1 defeat on Manchester United.

Wolves knocked the Reds out of the FA Cup at Molineux two weeks ago to set up a semi-final date with Watford this weekend, and again picked his strongest possible side last night.

It paid off as an own goal from United’s Chris Smalling earned Wolves all three points and gave them another big lift heading into the Hornets clash. Speaking after the game, Nuno insisted he did not consider resting players. “No, there’s no such thing.

There was the game, there was a game plan, we take the decisions and the options and we prepare for the next one,” he said. “The preparation for the next game starts tomorrow.

Two very good results against such a good team requires a lot and the boys worked very well. “I’m pleased with the performance, that’s what is important. To do it twice makes the effort worthwhile. It’s not easy to play against Man United.”
