Premier League demand explanation from McCarthy

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has been asked to explain his controversial team selection at Manchester United last night.

McCarthy made 10 changes to the side that defeated Tottenham on Saturday for the Barclays Premier League encounter at Old Trafford and then watched his team lose 3-0.

Wolves fans vented their frustration during the game, although McCarthy defended his stance.

However, the Premier League have now got involved and want to know McCarthy's version of events.

A statement issued by the Premier League this afternoon read: "The Premier League Board have written to Wolverhampton Wanderers to request their observations in relation to the team fielded in their League fixture against Manchester United.

"Once the observations are received the Board will decide whether any further action is warranted."
