We simulated Manchester United vs Wolves to predict Premier League clash

Manchester United will begin their 2023/24 Premier League campaign on Monday night when they take on Wolves at Old Trafford.

Last season saw United secure Champions League football with a third-place finish in the Premier League, but after a summer of investment, United will be looking to go one better and challenge for the title in the upcoming campaign. Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana have all signed for Erik ten Hag's side, with more additions expected before the end of the window.

United played eight matches as part of their pre-season, winning four, drawing one and losing three. The last meeting between United and Wolves ended in a 2-0 win for Ten Hag's side, with Anthony Martial and Alejandro Garnacho grabbing the goals.

So, could United pick up three points to start their Premier League season? Let's take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the squads with the latest injuries, transfers and suspensions. FIFA 23 is not up to date with the latest kits or numbers, so both sides are in the kits from the 2022/23 season.

We predict that United could set up in a 3-4-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Fernandes, Mount; Antony, Rashford, Garnacho.

We predict that the visitors could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Ait-Nouri; Gomes, Lemina; Nunes, Silva, Hwang; Cunha.

United dominated the opening stages as they so often do at Old Trafford, with Ten Hag's side camped in the Wolves half. Marcus Rashford and Antony were both guilty of missing really good chances, but the best opportunity
