    That is what everyone has been waiting to see from Onana.

    Got quite the ping on him.

    Andre Onana is seeing plenty of the ball at his feet, and taking his time with it. He just pops a ball out to Alejandro Garnacho on the left. Already showing why Erik ten Hag wanted that type of player in nets.

    Manchester United's new striker Rasmus Hojlund is further along from Tom Heaton and Jonny Evans in the directors' box.

    The experienced pair have been chatting him through certain parts of the game.

    Hojlund looks as though he is desperate to get on the pitch.

    I was always a green man on those pens. Don't @ me.

    Erik ten Hag is making notes on his pad using one of those class old-school pens with the different colours you can push down.

    Interesting from a Wolves perspective, is this a good time to play Man Utd? New players in the door, things haven't yet settled down at the club.

    They've started quite well so far.

    Mason Mount gets instructions from Bruno Fernandes and swings a corner in which reaches Alejandro Garnacho at the other side but his shot is blocked.

    Max Kilman slices a loose Antony ball behind for another corner, United's third at least.

    Quite a lot of responsibility has been placed on Max Kilman's shoulders at Wolves.

    He has been named captain and he has been given a long term contract.

    Wolves really need him not to do stuff like that, dribbling away from his own box and then giving the ball away when he was stranded and way out of position.

    It was fortunate Manchester United didn't get their passing right otherwise the visitors would have been in trouble.

    Wolves have a solid starting 11. A couple of injuries and we're deep in it though. We did spend a considerable amount in January and the squad seems together. It will be tense but I can foresee at least 3 other teams who will struggle more than we will.

    Crucial touch from Casemiro to stop a Pedro Neto cutback reaching its target.

    United try to counter and then Wolves do the same. End to end.

    Looking at the United squad it’s painfully clear that there is still a huge lack of depth. Who, apart from Sancho, will come on and make an impact?

    Right then, here we go, Man Utd to win the league and FA cup double!

    New Wolves captain Max Kilman tries to run the ball out of defence and loses it. There's a big scare as United burst forward through Antony but they can't take advantage.
