Manchester United vs Wolves Preview - 13/08/2023 - Premier League
The Premier League 2023/24 games have been announced on June 15.
In the first week of the upcoming tournament, Manchester United will host Wolves FC at Old Trafford.
Manchester United's first season under manager Erik ten Hag has brought the club a mixed bag of results. The Red Devils secured a commendable third-place finish in the domestic league, earning the ticket to the Champions League for the upcoming campaign. At home, United demonstrated outstanding performance, dropping merely nine points in 19 home league matches. Their defensive record at Old Trafford was particularly impressive, with only ten goals conceded, making it the strongest defensive record across the entire campaign. Bruno Fernandes consistently served as the division's leading chance creator, while Marcus Rashford proved his mettle as a goal scorer by netting 30 goals across all competitions and became one of the top goalscorers in the Premier League's past campaign with 17 goals.
Meanwhile, the Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. finished 12th in the Premier League table, falling only 3 points behind the once Champions League winners Chelsea. Despite the relief of manager Lopetegui successfully avoiding relegation, the season proved to be immensely frustrating for Wolves. Their inability to secure a streak of consecutive victories was a constant source of disappointment, with the team only managing to win two league games in a row twice throughout the campaign. The inconsistency was exasperating, as they would defeat formidable opponents like Forest but then succumb to teams like Palace. This erratic pattern continued, hindering their ability to gather momentum and resulting in a struggle to stay afloat in the league.
