Manchester United take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 1 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, August 14th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United hope to improve further. The Mancunians had a disappointing season two years ago, aiming for titles but finishing outside the top 4 and missing out on the Champions League. They entrusted ten Hag with the task of lifting the legendary club from its decline. The gamble was risky, and the manager initially struggled in matches on the Foggy Albion. There were also unpleasant moments later: Ronaldo's controversial departure, the Europa League setback in Seville, and too many crushing defeats overall. Nevertheless, in the end, Erik achieved his goal, returning Man Utd to the top quartet (even finishing 3rd) and winning the EFL Cup in his first year in England. It's no wonder the Dutchman was allowed to continue reshaping the squad. Under his guidance, De Gea was let go, with over 50 million spent on Onana. That's not all – the new forward, Haaland, whom few knew about a year ago, cost 74 million, 10 more than England's national team midfielder Mount. Will these newcomers, clearly brought in for the core, flourish? And will there be any regrets that all transfer targets haven't been reached yet?

Wolverhampton were left without a coach a week before the start of the season. The Wolves made a strong impression upon returning to the Premier League. Under Nuno Espirito Santo's unmistakable Portuguese accent, they troubled the big clubs and immediately secured a spot in the Europa League, progressing to the playoffs. However, their success was short-lived, and the recent years have been rather mediocre. Eventually, Lopetegui took charge of Wolves in the late autumn of the previous year when they were at the bottom of the league table. He eventually managed to finish above the danger zone! But then, it seems, Julen either had a falling out with the management or became disillusioned with the club's prospects (rumor has it that Chinese investors are willing to sell the club). In any case, after selling Ruben Neves (Al-Hilal paid a significant 55 million without haggling) and Coady, they only exercised the buy-back option for Boubacar Traore and brought back the unnecessary Doherty from Atletico. So, on August 8th, everyone was surprised by the news of the manager's contract termination by mutual agreement. The very next day, O'Neill took over, although his only independent experience was the previous incomplete season leading Bournemouth. However, Gary was successful there, leaving the newcomer in the Premier League.
Last season, Man Utd confirmed their ability to play against the Wolves. Ten Hag's team won both matches. It's hard to believe that the Red Devils will give the guests a chance under the circumstances in which the Wolves have put themselves. We recommend placing a bet on the victory of Manchester United with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win with -1.5 handicap.
