AFTER a weekend of auditions for potential title contenders, Manchester United so nearly fluffed their lines.
In the end, it was an all too familiar story of United somehow getting the job done with Raphael Varane's late winner after being second-best to Wolves for so long.
Somehow Wanderers didn't score and they will be fuming over the controversial late call that saw keeper Andre Onana somehow escape without conceding a late penalty. It might still not be enough to convince Old Trafford that Erik ten Hag's men are ready to go toe-to-toe with rivals Manchester City in the title race.
City blitzed Burnley on Friday night, Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest and Newcastle smashed Aston Villa on Saturday, while Chelsea and Liverpool shared the spoils on Sunday.
