While most fans of Premier League clubs have already seen their club in action this weekend, those of Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers have had to wait a little bit longer.
With their clash scheduled for Monday evening, they will be extremely eager to see what their teams will produce in their season opener, with Wolves having to deal with the added pressure of it being Gary O’Neil’s first match in charge.
He has taken over from Julen Lopetegui, who left his post after he felt promises made were not kept, which Bruno Fernandes has revealed in a chat with DAZN, relayed by O Jogo, makes the game a bit more exciting for fans and a bit tougher for Erik ten Hag’s men.
“But the quality of the players is there, it makes the game even more unpredictable, but we are prepared for the game. We know it’s always difficult, but here, in the Premier League, we don’t get to have easy games.”
Manchester United head into the new season with a number of new signings, such as André Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Højlund, although the latter will be out of action for a while.
As for Wolves, their transfer window has been far quieter, which was one of the reasons why Lopetegui left in the first place, especially with the likes of Ruben Neves being sold somewhat against his will.
