Manchester United laboured to an extremely fortuitous 1-0 home win over Wolves to begin the new Premier League season.
Raphael Varane was an unlikely late scoring hero for Erik ten Hag’s notably below-par side at Old Trafford on Monday night, heading in Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s lofted pass from point-blank range after great work from new captain Bruno Fernandes to net the only goal of the game after their spirited opponents had spurned countless superb opportunities to break the deadlock themselves.
