The home side appealed for an early penalty when Adnan Januzaj was brought down by Maynor Figueroa, but the referee was not interested in their shouts.

Robert Koren tried to create a chance for the Tigers by sliding the ball forward for Shane Long, but Chris Smalling managed to clear the danger for United.

Phil Jones was forced off after less than 20 minutes with a shoulder injury, and was later taken to hospital for treatment, bringing Nemanja Vidic on for his final home appearance as a United player.

The home side broke the deadlock with just over half an hour gone when 18-year-old Wilson, who is making his debut, fired the ball in from a Marouane Fellaini pass, ensuring that the hosts lead at the break.
