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:

Wolves have been extremely poor going forward in that first half, with Dawson's off-target effort their only shot of the half. United, in contrast, have registered 16 efforts in goal. Antony, in particular, has impressed, notching up three shots as well as one assist and two chances created.

Martial's goal is the difference between the two sides as United lead 1-0 against Wolves at the break. The home side have been much the better in this opening 45 minutes and have created numerous chances on goal. Antony fired wide and headed over with two promising opportunities but the Brazilian redeemed himself, laying the ball on a plate for Martial to smash home in the 32nd minute and put Ten Hag's side ahead.

While Antony has offered promise down the right, Sancho has still struggled to make an imprint on this game so far from the left. He tries to play a simple pass back to Martial on the edge of the box but overhits it and the play breaks down.
