When Wolves face Manchester United in the FA Cup, it's usually a memorable match. Just last year, the two teams squared off in the quarter-finals of the same tournament, with Wolves defeating the Red Devils against the odds.

You won't want to miss this FA Cup showdown — and you won't have to if you know where to live stream Wolves vs. Man United.
