Manchester United commenced their 2023/24 Premier League season on a triumphant note, securing a narrow 1-0 victory against Wolves at Old Trafford on Monday night.
Defender Raphael Varane found the back of the net in the 76th minute, registering the sole goal of the match and securing a full three points for Erik ten Hag's team. Although the final score appears promising, the Reds found themselves outplayed throughout the entire evening.
Wolves, led by their new manager Gary O'Neil, displayed an impressive performance in their inaugural match. They would have clinched a victory with all three points if their accuracy in front of the goal matched their overall performance. The opposition bombarded United's goal, keeping Andre Onana busy during his competitive debut for the club.
Nevertheless, luck was on his side when, in the latter stages of the second half injury time, he collided with Sasa Kalajdzic, sparking a VAR review and potential penalty consideration. To the surprise of many, the review did not result in a penalty being awarded, allowing United to hold on and secure the maximum three points. This victory also extended their remarkable undefeated streak at Old Trafford.
