EPL: Thanks to him – Gary Lineker singles out Man Utd star after win over Wolves

Former Barcelona striker, Gary Linekar has singled Manchester United defender Raphael Varane for praise after the Red Devils managed a narrow 1-0 win against Wolves in a Premier League tie on Monday.

Ma United defeated Wolves at Old Trafford, thanks to a 76th minute strike by Varane.

During the encounter there was a moment of controversy, as goalkeeper Andre Onana had clattered into a Wolves player Sasa Kalajdzic late in the second half.

While the consensus was that Wolves should have had a penalty, Onana was not penalised.

However, Lineker also took a jibe at Erik ten Hag’s side by praising Varane, tweeting:

“An opening day 3 points for @ManUtd. thanks to VARane.”

Manchester United’s next match is against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
