Manchester United will play Wolves on Monday night in their opening game of the Premier League season.
Less than a week before the game, Wolves have confirmed the appointment of Gary O’Neil as the club’s new manager on a three-year deal.
O’Neil replaces Julen Lopetegui at Molineux.
Gary O'Neil has been appointed as our new head coach.
Welcome to the club, Gary 🤝

The Spaniard’s contract was mutually terminated on Tuesday after less than nine months with the Black Country side.
It is understood Lopetegui became frustrated by Wolves’ lack of spending in the transfer market, after saving them from relegation last term.
Now, with just five days to prepare for his first match in charge, Wolves will be hoping for a new manager bounce at Old Trafford against United.
O’Neil lead Bournemouth to a 15th-place finish in the Premier League last season.
The Cherries since replaced O’Neil with former Rayo Vallecano manager Andoni Iraola.
