Manchester United will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford in a Premier League encounter on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils will be coming into this game off the back of an emphatic comeback victory over Olympique Lyonnais in the Europa League quarter-final. So, the squad’s spirit should be high at the moment.

As per team news, Lisandro Martínez and Joshua Zirkzee’s season is over due to their respective injury problems. Amad Diallo’s season was also thought to be over, but he could return for the final few games of this term but isn’t ready to feature this weekend.
Ayden Heaven, Matthijs de Ligt, and Toby Collyer have been out with their issues and may remain sidelined for this game as well. Jonny Evans recently returned to training after recovering from his issue, and it remains to be seen whether he features vs Wolves.

Predicted Man Utd lineup vs Wolves
Ruben Amorim has said that he is set to prioritize the Europa League, hence he is going to rotate heavily in the Premier League games as they don’t have much at stake in this competition.
The Portuguese boss is likely to make seven changes to his starting XI from midweek’s game and Altay Bayindir is expected to be in goal ahead of Andre Onana.
Noussair Mazraoui was taken off at the interval vs Lyon and it is due to personal issues, but he is ready for this game and is set to start in the RCB position. Victor Lindelof should be in the CCB role, and Leny Yoro may complete the centre-back trio. So, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire could be involved as substitutes.
Diogo Dalot might be on the RWB position and Harry Amass is likely to be on the opposite side. Therefore, Patrick Dorgu is expected to get a rest this weekend.
Kobbie Mainoo should be in the engine room after scoring an excellent goal in midweek, and he could be paired up with Christian Eriksen. Hence, Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro would be among the substitutes.
Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount are set to be two No.10s and Chido Obi might get the nod to start in the centre-forward position to give Rasmus Hojlund a breather. Here’s Man Utd’s predicted line-up vs Wolves:
