Team News: Wolves vs Manchester United (Premier League)

Manchester United are looking to make it three wins in three since returning to action as they travel to the Molineux to face Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Erik ten Hag’s side climbed to within a point of the top four after their comfortable 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest mid-week.

Wolves are coming into the game with confidence, despite their league position.

The 18th-placed side in the league have new manager Julen Lopetegui at the helm and won their first two games under the Spaniard. They will be hoping to climb out of the relegation zone as soon as possible.

United have notoriously struggled against The Wanderers in recent years, however, they have won their last two visits to the Molineux and confidence will be high heading into this one.

Ten Hag’s men played one of their best games of the season against Forest at Old Trafford and the likes of Casemiro and Marcus Rashford are in stellar form.

An important three points are up for grabs for two teams battling at either end of the table.
