Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture

Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

While Antony has offered promise down the right, Sancho has still struggled to make an imprint on this game so far from the left. He tries to play a simple pass back to Martial on the edge of the box but overhits it and the play breaks down.

OVER!! Two quickfire chances for United. Martial tries to get an effort on goal on the turn but the Wolves defence does well to smother that opportunity. They don't do as well with the second chance seconds later as Antony ghosts to the back post and is found by Shaw's cross. The Brazilian rises but he ballons the header over the bar from close range - he should do better.

Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

15:32

Both sides are trading opportunities from set pieces at the minute as Wolves win another corner. Neto's delivery is poor, though, and it sails over his teammates inside the United box.

Antony has got on the ball plenty in these early stages and this time he combines well with his full-back partner Wan-Bissaka who makes the overlapping run beyond him. Wan-Basska cuts it back into the box but there is no United player to sweep it home from the penalty spot and the Wolves defence survive once again.

15:11

WIDE!! A Wolves mistake and Antony nearly capitalises. Dawson's pass to Kilman goes astray and the latter slips as he tries to stretch for it. Antony latches onto the loose ball but his curling effort goes just wide of the right post with Bentley at full stretch.

Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves, meanwhile, will be comparatively relaxed having secured their survival in the Premier League with a 1-0 win against Aston Villa last weekend. Today's game represents a free hit but Julen Lopetegui will look to spoil the party as they eye up a repeat of last season's away win against Manchester United having not won at Old Trafford since 1980.

Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

14:38

With just four league games remaining, there will no doubt be plenty of nerves in and around the United dressing room as they look to secure a spot in the top four. With back-to-back defeats and Liverpool breathing down their necks, today's fixture feels like a must-win game for Erik Ten Hag's side. They will be pleased to return to Old Trafford, though, and will look to extend their 26-game unbeaten home record in all competitions and put the pressure back on Newcastle United, who drew earlier on Saturday against Leeds United.
