MANCHESTER – Manchester United survived an onslaught from Wolves and huge claims for a late penalty to start the Premier League season with a 1-0 win thanks to Raphael Varane’s header on Monday. Wolves had seen manager Julen Lopetegui walk out less than a week before...
United clung on to get off to a winning start, in stark contrast to the two defeats that began Erik ten Hag’s reign 12 months ago.
United fans’ wishes that a new season would start under new ownership have not been met with a sale process seemingly at a standstill. Wolves did not look like a club in crisis as they controlled the game, but suffered from a lack of a cutting edge up front.Cunha came even closer at the start of the second period. The Brazilian should have scored when he hit the outside of the post with the goal gaping.
But the 24-year-old showed a glimpse of why he could yet live up to that fee with a surging run through the heart of the United midfield before firing a low shot that Onana turned behind.
