Andre Onana became the 11th goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet on their Premier League debut for Manchester United and the first since Joel Pereira against Crystal Palace in May 2017.
That was Pereira's only Premier League game.

Another case of old Trafford biase! 100% a penalty if that's at the other end that's given.
Kris
It's started already. Big club VAR bias. An explanation of that non- penalty would be welcome.
George
Only the 1st weekend of the Premier League & once again the performance of the officials is under the spotlight. How is that not a penalty for Wolves?

I thought Wolves were absolutely fantastic tonight.
Manchester United's midfield was non-existent, the front three didn't work hard enough in a defensive sense.
Wolves got a new manager four days ago and there was doom and gloom about their season, but they were absolutely fantastic.
United were outplayed and can feel fortunate that they came away with three points. They did not deserve it.

I had actually wondered if Simon Hooper was coming over to see the incident on the screen but he was coming over to book Gary O'Neil.
Andre Onana got away with one there for sure.

That might be the worst decision I’ve ever seen

Wolves denied a clear penalty, I'm a qualified referee and that's blatant!
Morgan
So that wasn’t a clear and obvious error but the Brentford pen was? If they want managers to stop dissenting then the refs need to massively improve consistency. It’s so poor.

Very good performance from Wolves in Gary O'Neil's first game in charge.
Goals will be their issue again this season though. They should have scored at least two goals today.

It's all over.
United just about beat Wolves - but we'll be hearing more about that non-penalty for sure.

What are these officials doing?
It is incredible.
How can Gary O'Neil not be irate, at Old Trafford in this situation. How can he not be annoyed by this, he shouldn't get a yellow.
Everyone is saying penalty.

Into the 100th minute. Wolves lose the ball.

Andre Onana catches Hugo Bueno's cross and it might all be over now.

Huge let-off for United. We're past the seven added on now.

This is incredible.
Gary O'Neil is down at the fourth official asking them to look at it.
Incredible anxiety around the ground now.

The decision is no penalty. That is controversial.
Gary O'Neil is FURIOUS on the side - and referee Simon Hooper books him.

Andre Onana misses the ball and then catches Sasa Kalajdzic's head instead.
VAR is checking this.

This is has been horrible performance from Utd. Deserve absolutely nothing from this game. If Wolves can pinch anything, then it is full on merit. Strong words needed regardless of result from Ten Hag
Sam
Regardless of the result United miles off the pace , a top team would have buried them this evening
Sean
United have been poor but give credit to Wolves. They clearly have real quality in this squad.

United are penned in. It's all Wolves. A couple of penalty shouts too. VAR?

Mario Lemina has a couple of shots blocked.

Play is delayed as an idiot has run onto the pitch. He's dealt with now.

Really poor defending from Man United's perspective, neither Shaw nor Pellistri track Hwang.
Got away with another one there.
Erik ten Hag can't be happy with what he has seen tonight, not a single player in a red shirt has performed to their ability.
