After some criticism from Manchester United fans throughout the pre-season games, it was a fantastic start for Manchester United and a great first Premier League performance for Ander Onana, who made key crucial saves in the encounter. Wolves appear well prepared for the match since they made United's job difficult, but Manchester United has lately been able to give the difference in the score line, which is a strong start to the season.
I don't think it is a great start for Man United. They actually played worse than Wolves, they made lower shot attempts. They only made 3 shot on targets from total 15 shot attempts. While Wolves can make 23 shot attempts and 6 shot on targets. However, Man United has a better accuracy in shooting although Man United attackers actually failed to score goals. Varane who could score 1 goal and make Man United won today.
If Man United only can perform like today match, I doubt they can compete for the title. It is a home match but they are difficult to win. I can't image if they are playing a strong team today. They may miss 3 points in the first match of this season.
Yes, a narrow win of 1-0 it's not an optimal result, but the 3 points obtained by Man United are still a good start. Man United didn't play as expected, they seem to be struggling to develop their rhythm. I think Ten Hag should be doing an evaluation so that Man United can show the expected performance and they can play consistently. Maybe it will take a little time, considering there are 3 new players who of course still need time to adapt.
