Ronaldo has been spotted in the away end! Well... Not quite. It's a cardboard cut-out of the Portuguese star.
11'

It was a great ball from Neves that unlocked United there but it was weak defensively from Fred. De Gea was beaten but it was brilliant from Wan-Bissaka to get back and somehow slide in to deny Wolves their first PL goal of the season.

How has that stayed out? Wolves catch United cold once more. This time Trincao is sent clear in the area but his low strike is blocked by a sensational last-ditch sliding challenge from Wan-Bissaka.

SAVE! Traore bursts past two on the break and surges from inside his own half deep into United's. He lays a lovely pass to his right for Raul Jiménez, but the Mexican's low shot lacks real power and De Gea beats it away.

Max Kilman on new boss Bruno Lage: “He’s been brilliant since he came to the club. It’s been hard to adapt to the new system and how he wants us to play. But the energy and enthusiasm he’s brought in has really pushed us on and you can see how the whole training ground has been uplifted with the enthusiasm and how we want to play. It’s been very positive so far.”

Paul Pogba has already chalked up five assists this term, which is the most by a United player after two matches of a Premier League campaign. “Which assist means the most to me?” he asks. “The next one. The next one, hopefully. It’s true that it’s been very nice to get those assists, but then you want to finish as the top assister of the league. You want to win something at the end, so all this will mean something with a trophy. It won’t mean anything without a trophy. I’m focused on that. I’m focused on giving my best on the pitch and hopefully I can get many more.”
