McCarthy: Has full control

In terms of Mick we move on, it's as simple as that. In relationships it is impossible to agree all the time.

Wolves chairman Steve Morgan has played down talk of a rift between himself and manager Mick McCarthy.

The Molineux supremo has confirmed the pair disagreed over McCarthy's decision to make wholesale changes ahead of their trip to Manchester United.

McCarthy made 10 changes from the side that won 1-0 at Spurs for their midweek trip to Old Trafford with a game against Burnley to follow that weekend.

Morgan believes the affair has been blown out of proportion and that he has no qualms with McCarthy having full control over first-team affairs.

Overplayed

"The media has made far too much of it and it's been overplayed," Morgan told the club's official website.

"Did I agree with Mick? No I didn't. But Mick is there to manage the team. He picked the team as he saw fit.

"It was full of players who had played already this season, there were seven full internationals in the squad and we also had our Player of the Season from last year.

"I think there are some very sensible people at the Premier League and think given that other teams regularly make changes then it would be very unfair if they were to take any action against us.

"In terms of Mick we move on, it's as simple as that. In relationships it is impossible to agree all the time.

"That's why we all love the game, we've all got opinions, and there is certainly no problem between myself and Mick."
