Wolves defender Doherty quickly impressed by new teammate Podence

Wolves defender Matt Doherty has quickly been impressed by new teammate Daniel Podence.

Wolves' new signing made a cameo debut off the bench for the 0-0 draw at Manchester United, playing the final 14 minutes and slotting into the system in place impressively.

“He did really well," Doherty told the club's website.

"It's tough, he'd only been here a couple of days, but he seemed to get up to the pace of it quite quickly. The way we play, he seemed to adapt quite well, which is a good sign for us."

He added: “Even last season we had them in the cup, we seem to play each other quite often, so we've come to terms with each other's game plan.

“It was 0-0, but I don't think it was a boring game, it was a good game to watch, but we cancelled each other out."
