Manchester United predicted XI to face Wolves (Premier League)

Manchester United host Wolves at Old Trafford on Saturday at 3 pm. Erik ten Hag’s side will be looking to pick up three points, after a run of two consecutive defeats away from home.

Last time out, it was Said Benrahma’s effort that gave West Ham a 1-0 win at the London Stadium. His goal meant Manchester United lost their second game in a row following Alexis Mac Allister’s stoppage-time penalty for Brighton on Thursday.

The Red Devils will be hoping to bounce back with all three points against 13th-place Wolves, who they beat at Molineux on New Year’s Eve thanks to a Marcus Rashford goal.

Erik ten Hag may look to rotate defensively and could recall club captain Harry Maguire to the starting eleven to partner Victor Lindelof, meaning Luke Shaw could slot back in at his natural left-back position.

Although Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Raphael Varane is now back from injury, it may be unwise to throw him straight into the team, and instead, it may be best to ease Varane back into the side.

Following his great run of form in the side since the return to the Premier League after the World Cup, it is only natural to assume that Aaron Wan-Bissaka will then slot in at right-back.

United’s first-choice midfield of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Bruno Fernandes are once again all available. The midfield trio will look to help United get back to winning ways on Saturday.

Alejandro Garnacho, who returned to the squad against West Ham, could be in line to make his first appearance since suffering an injury in March. However, it may be too soon to make a start, meaning we could see Jadon Sancho return to the left-hand side.

A debate that will be had leading up to the fixture is who will start in place of Marcus Rashford, considering that the forward is a major doubt for the game.

Although Wout Weghorst started up front against West Ham, Wolves at home presents Anthony Martial with the perfect chance to get back in the XI and on to the scoresheet.

Full predicted XI

De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes; Antony, Martial, Sancho.
