“It was important to start with a win. We wanted to start with three points. We had a great fighting spirit. It wasn’t the best game from our side, but the most important thing was winning the game and we did that."
"I think it's of course a team performance, the clean sheet, but on the back of it is a keeper and you need a performance for him. A clean sheet. And I think he did a really good job. I think it was a fantastic debut."
“It’s the kind of movement we trained, we don’t train Rapha to be in the box, but he was there. Azza [Aaron Wan-Bissaka] made a great movement, I had to find him in behind the defenders and he did a great cross to Rapha, and Rapha was there to put it in and I’m really happy for that.”
"[It was a] great game, a top game. Now we recover and then get back on track, and we go to London [to play Tottenham on Saturday] and we know we will be there in a fight as well."

FT
United kick off the 2023/24 campaign with all three points at home to Wolves, thanks to Raphael Varane's 76th-minute goal. It wasn't a smooth ride by any means for the Reds, who had to work hard for the victory against a stern Wolves side, but Ten Hag's men have battled through to come away with a maximum return from the opening weekend. Job done.
90 MINS + 9
I think most of us in the ground thought the referee was going to give a penalty there. United are holding on as we tick towards 100 minutes...
