Manchester United vs Wolves: Erik ten Hag’s Likely Lineup and Latest Team News

Manchester United will play their first match of the new Premier League season at Old Trafford, nicknamed the “Theatre of Dreams”, against Wolves tonight. This will be Wolves’ first game under interim manager Gary O’Neil, who replaced Julen Lopetegui after he was sacked just days ago.

The Red Devils are starting their second season under Erik ten Hag and are in good form and spirits heading into the new campaign. Meanwhile, Wolves are going through turmoil with their management change.

Ten Hag has overcome some difficult periods since taking over last season, when United finished third in the league and won the EFL Cup. Now it is time to start getting results.

In pre-season, United won friendlies against Leeds United, Lyon and Arsenal but lost to Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund despite rotating lineups.
