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:

SAVE!! A superb save from Bentley to deny Sancho and keep Wolves in the game. The United winger has plenty of space down the left and he drives into the box onto his right foot. His shot is low and heading for the left corner, but Bentley manages to get a strong hand to it and turn it around the post.

Wolves make an attacking switch as Lemina makes way for Traore.

There is a muted appeal for a penalty as Podence goes down in the box trying to get on the end of Nunes' pass. The referee is unmoved and play continues.

Wolves break up the pitch from a corner and De Gea almost makes a mess of it as he charges off his line. Hwang gets to the ball before him and the United goalkeeper just avoids making contact with the Wolves forward, who goes down theatrically looking for a foul.
