Manchester United XI vs Wolves – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United travel to the West Midlands on Monday looking to extend their impressive away form.

Rúben Amorim’s side remain unbeaten in their last four Premier League games on the road. Impressively, this run includes statement wins at Liverpool and Crystal Palace. Consequently, they aim to replicate that resilience against the league’s bottom club today. However, the Red Devils will be wary of their opponents.

Wolves beat them twice in the league last season. Therefore, United desperately want to avoid consecutive league losses at Molineux for the first time since 1980. To achieve this, they rely on Matheus Cunha to lead the attack. Notably, he boasts an incredible record at this ground.

Rúben Amorim hopes defensive duo Matthijs de Ligt and Diogo Dalot overcome minor knocks. Both players picked up issues against West Ham. Fortunately, the medical team expects them to be fit. If they start, they likely form part of the defensive unit alongside Luke Shaw .

However, the manager remains without Harry Maguire and striker Benjamin Šeško due to injury. Additionally, Lisandro Martínez trains but is not yet ready to return to the starting lineup. In midfield, Amorim hinted at rotation. Nevertheless, he insists he will pick his best players.

Therefore, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes likely retain their places. In attack, Matheus Cunha features prominently against his former club. Remarkably, he played a direct role in 11 goals in his last 12 appearances at Molineux. Bryan Mbeumo and Joshua Zirkzee likely join him in a fluid front three as they look to break down a struggling Wolves defence.

Manchester United predicted XI: Lammens; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Shaw; Diallo, Casemiro , Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Zirkzee
