It wasn't easy and there were a lot of nervous people at Old Trafford on Monday night. However, Manchester United was able to breathe a big sigh of relief at the final whistle, as they were able to take down Wolves in their first EPL game of the year.
This indeed wasn't easy, with Wolves dominating play for most of the night. In the end, a Rafael Varane goal proved to be the difference for the Reds. In additon, new keeper Andre Onana was brilliant in his Old Trafford debut.
While the three points are nice for United, there's no question that they have a lot to improve on before traveling to London on Saturday to take on Tottenham. The midfield must operate with much more intensity.
There's plenty of worry surrounding this group, but it was the first game of the year and there's trust in the manager. We'll see which United team shows up this weekend at Spurs.
