Manchester City will hope to continue their perfect start to the Premier League season when they host Fulham at the Etihad this afternoon.
Three pundits agree on the start Manchester United will make to Premier League vs Wolves
13.08.2023 - 10:55 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United kick off their 2023/2024 Premier League season at home to Wolves on Monday night and three pundits have all predicted a perfect start for the Reds.
Erik ten Hag will hope for a far better start to his second campaign in charge than he endured 12 months ago after humbling defeats to Brighton and Brentford. The Dutchman is aiming to build on a third-place finish last time out and cement his side's place in the top-four again.
He welcomes to Old Trafford a Wolves side already in crisis, with Julen Lopetegui leaving his role as manager earlier this week amid growing frustration at a lack of transfer activity. The Midlands side have lost four senior players for a total of £83million and signed only Matt Doherty on a free transfer.

Gary O'Neil has been drafted in to succeed Lopetegui, following his exit from Bournemouth earlier this summer. He is the fourth manager to kick off his career at a new club against Ten Hag's United - who have failed to win any of the previous three.
The Reds are strong favourites to take all three points on Monday, with Chris Sutton, Paul Merson and Mark Lawrenson all backing a home win and a clean sheet.

"What has happened at Wolves for Julen Lopetegui to leave when he did? I don't get it.
"He was unhappy - I understand that - but it was rumbling on for weeks so how did we get to this point, with him going only three days before the Premier League season begins?
"If club and manager are not on the same page, why can't they come to an agreement
