Tomasz Kuszczak - The big Pole did everything asked of him, making two impressive and important saves and largely marshalling a much-changed backline well.
Gary Neville - An excellent shift from the skipper, who kept the defence in order and bombed forward wherever possible to lend his support in attack.
Wes Brown - Totally unflappable throughout. Wes turned in a superb evening's work, working well in tandem and keeping things together at the back.
Jonny Evans - Looks completely at home in the first team, whoever his partner is. Kept former colleague Sylvan Ebanks-Blake under control all night.
Fabio - The Brazilian looked in good form until his unfortunate dismissal. No malice at all in his attempts to halt Michael Kightly's run, but no complaints about the red card.
Nani - A rip-roaring start from the Portuguese winger, but his involvement was sporadic from then on. Nevertheless, his pace and trickery had Wolves worried throughout.
Michael Carrick - A quietly productive evening for the England international. Linked well with Darron Gibson in the centre, and played a big part in Welbeck's winner.
Darron Gibson - Had a point to prove against his former loan side, and performed well. Thrice came close from distance, but Gibbo can reflect on a good evening's work.
Danny Welbeck - Had to mix roles as a winger and a striker after Fabio's dismissal, but juggled the roles well and capped his display with a superb winning goal.
Kiko Macheda - Full of running prior to his early substitution.Unfortunate to be sacrificed, but it was a move that paid off tactically as Welbeck's split role yielded the winner.
Michael Owen - Performed admirably after being asked to lead the line alone. Unfortunate not to score, but a superb assist for Welbeck's goal.
Substitutes
Ritchie De Laet (for Macheda) - The young Belgian's rapid improvement continues, and once again he looked completely at home in the first team defence.
Antonio Valencia (for Owen) - Terrified Wolves when he came on with his pace and directness. Another impressive cameo.
Josh King (for Welbeck) - Another who has burst onto the scene, and the powerful youngster fared well on the big stage. Unlucky not to score with a thunderous effort.
