Manchester United vs Wolves LIVE highlights and reaction as Varane scores and VAR rules no penalty

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 has opted for Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the season opener.

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.

"New season, same problem. United continue to find goals hard to come by with a new £72million striker sitting in the stands. They had a solution, though. Two defenders combined for the solitary goal on a night United's attackers were incapable of doing so. Raphael Varane broke the deadlock with only his second for United via a cute cushioned cross by Aaron Wan-Bissaka."
