Wolves star sends warning to Manchester United after unbeaten pre-season

Wolves defender Hugo Bueno believes his side have a 'really good chance' of getting a result against Manchester United next week after an unbeaten pre-season campaign.

Julen Lopetegui's side head to Old Trafford next Monday night for the final game of the 2023/2024 Premier League opening weekend. They finished their summer preparations with a 3-1 win over French side Stade Rennais on Saturday, the third victory in a summer that also included two draws and no defeats.

It's been a frustrating summer off the pitch for Wolves, with established first-team players such as Nathan Collins, Ruben Neves, Raul Jimenez and Conor Coady all leaving. A restricted budget has left Lopetegui unable to strengthen and reportedly considering his future.

But those concerns are yet to filter into the 90 minutes, with the Midlands side enjoying a solid pre-season. And Bueno is hopeful that momentum can carry through to Monday when they face United.

“Work – that’s the only thing we’re thinking of," he told Wolves' in-house media team. "We know it’s going to be tough, in a really tough stadium, but I think we have a really good chance to go there and put in a good performance.

“I think all the squad is really motivated for the new season. We just have to keep going like this and hopefully we can achieve really good things.”

Despite their financial constraints, Wolves were obliged to make Matheus Cunha's loan move from Atletico Madrid permanent this summer - a deal that could set them back around £35million. The Brazilian scored a late penalty against Celtic
