Manchester United are eager for a strong beginning to the 2023/24 Premier League season as they prepare to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford on Monday, aiming to kick off their campaign in an impressive style.
Experiencing defeats in their initial two matches in the previous season, the Red Devils are determined to steer clear of any recurrence of such a lacklustre beginning in the current season, highlighting their eagerness to perform better.
Erik Ten Hag could probably opt for a 4–2-3-1 formation and is expected to name a strong starting XI for this contest. Marcus Rashford would start down the middle while Alejandro Garnacho and Antony support from the wide areas.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted XI Vs Wolves
Defence
Andre Onana will operate in goal for the Red Devils as he looks to make his debut at Old Trafford. Victor Lindelof will partner up with Raphael Varane at the centre of Man United’s backline as they try to keep the opposition quiet throughout the game.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be a nailed-on starter at right-back, while Luke Shaw looks to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and join in on the attack at every opportunity they get.
Diogo Dalot will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Mason Mount will anchor the midfield with Casemiro as they focus on dominating possession at the centre of the park.
The gifted trio of Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Amtony will operate just ahead of them as part of ten Hag’s attack. Fernandes will carry most of the creative workload for the Red Devils in the opponent’s half.
Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Marcus Rashford will spearhead Man United’s attack on his own up top. The English forward has to find a way to threaten the opposition’s goal if Man United want to win the contest.
Jadon Sancho will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the contest’s final quarter if they need a goal by then.
