United started their season with a win courtesy of Varane’s goal who nodded in from close range after good work from Fernandes and Wan-Bissaka.
Wolves will feel they did enough to win this game, with Cunha hitting the post, Neto and Silva squandering good chances, and a VAR review denying them a penalty at the death.
Despite the result, O’Neil will be very encouraged by Wolves’ display. Wolves finish the game with 23 shots to United’s 15.
They will be hopeful of picking up results if they continue to play in this manner, with Brighton and Hove Albion their next opponents at Molineux on Saturday. United, meanwhile, go to Tottenham for a huge test on the same day.
