Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Old Trafford
Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Antony has got on the ball plenty in these early stages and this time he combines well with his full-back partner Wan-Bissaka who makes the overlapping run beyond him. Wan-Basska cuts it back into the box but there is no United player to sweep it home from the penalty spot and the Wolves defence survive once again.

Shaw delivers an enticing cross into the box but it's too high for Martial and Wolves can clear.

WIDE!! A Wolves mistake and Antony nearly capitalises. Dawson's pass to Kilman goes astray and the latter slips as he tries to stretch for it. Antony latches onto the loose ball but his curling effort goes just wide of the right post with Bentley at full stretch.

Neto drills in a low cross from the first corner of the game but Dawson's half-volley flies over the bar as the centre-back catches it cleanly on the run.

Wolves look to have weathered that early United pressure, but a poor pass from Bentley goes out for a throw-in and gifts possession back to the hosts.

Eriksen tries to take advantage from the throw-in as he lets fly with his left foot but his effort sails comfortably over the bar from outside the box.
