Manchester United vs Wolves LIVE early team news, live stream details and transfer latest

Manchester United will be hoping to make a winning start to the new Premier League season when they welcome Wolves to Old Trafford this evening, kick-off 8pm.

After achieving a respectable third-placed finish and ending their trophy drought in their first season under manager Erik ten Hag last term, United have ambitions of building on those foundations this term. The club experienced a mixed set of results in pre-season, winning four, drawing one and losing three of their eight friendlies.

United, however, produced an encouraging performance in their penultimate friendly last Saturday, defeating French side RC Lens 3-1 at Old Trafford. Ten Hag deployed his strongest available XI against the Ligue 1 side and he could name the same XI this evening if he chooses to.

United lost their opening two games of last season, including a 2-1 opening day defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, meaning they will be determined to get off to a winning start this time around. They won both meetings with Wolves last season without conceding.

Just 72 days after the 2-1 FA Cup final defeat to Manchester City at Wembley, United will get the second chapter of the Erik ten Hag era up and running this evening.

United, on paper, should be confident about getting off to a winning start this evening, though nothing can be taken for the granted on the opening weekend of the season, especially against a side with a new manager.

The Reds, however, were relentless at home last season and should be confident of maintaining those high standards this time around. Anything less than three points tonight will be deemed as a poor start.

Hello, everyone, and welcome
