You’d better hurry up, Cristiano, my son, if you want to help your new side to earn some accolades in the current season.Ronaldo’s cut out that United’s fans were holding in the stands tells a lot about their expectations from the Portuguese magician, who returns to Old Trafford after more than a decade of absence.He joins a slot packed with stars, but their display so far has been pretty much mediocre, just like today’s at Molineux against Wolverhampton. A full-time score shows Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team won 1-0, but it’s undeservedly as it gets.Greenwood saves United (©Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/Getty Images)The hosts were better side straight from the kick-off, with as much as three or four superb chances in the first half, but Adama Traore’s poor finishing and David De Gea’s wonders made it impossible for the Wolves to break the deadlock. The thing didn’t change a bit after the half-time break, with Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood being the only United’s firepowers in the attack.The mentioned duo was the closest to score, but Bruno’s goal was disallowed due to an offside, while Greenwood’s clever shot went inches wide of the target.🔥 @ManUtd break @Arsenal’s 17-year old record for most unbeaten @PremierLeague away games in a row.👊 28 games & counting. pic.twitter.com/thSCt0F1wo— SPORF (@Sporf) August 29, 2021 On the other end, Saiss had not one but two great goal-scoring opportunities in the middle of the second half, but his back-to-back efforts ended in De Gea’s hands.What Saiss missed, Greenwood wouldn’t let go. In a replay of his previous attempt, the prodigious winger launched a decent shot, but this time, Wolves’ keeper Jose Sa provided the guests with a goal thanks to a deplorable reaction in the six-yard box.Ole’s boys are sitted high on the table, but Ronaldo’s arrival is definitely something they will need to make amends after a relatively slow start to the season.PREMIER LEAGUE – Round 3SaturdayManchester City – Arsenal 5-0 (3-0)/Gundogan 7.
