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.

Wolves, meanwhile, will be comparatively relaxed having secured their survival in the Premier League with a 1-0 win against Aston Villa last weekend. Today's game represents a free hit but Julen Lopetegui will look to spoil the party as they eye up a repeat of last season's away win against Manchester United having not won at Old Trafford since 1980.

With just four league games remaining, there will no doubt be plenty of nerves in and around the United dressing room as they look to secure a spot in the top four. With back-to-back defeats and Liverpool breathing down their necks, today's fixture feels like a must-win game for Erik Ten Hag's side. They will be pleased to return to Old Trafford, though, and will look to extend their 26-game unbeaten home record in all competitions and put the pressure back on Newcastle United, who drew earlier on Saturday against Leeds United.
