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
OVER!! Two quickfire chances for United. Martial tries to get an effort on goal on the turn but the Wolves defence does well to smother that opportunity. They don't do as well with the second chance seconds later as Antony ghosts to the back post and is found by Shaw's cross. The Brazilian rises but he ballons the header over the bar from close range - he should do better.

Both sides are trading opportunities from set pieces at the minute as Wolves win another corner. Neto's delivery is poor, though, and it sails over his teammates inside the United box.
