Manchester United will clash heads with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineaux Stadium on Tuesday night looking to build on their 2-1 home victory against Watford. The Red Devils need to start picking up a series of favourable results so that they can clinch a top 4 place at the end of this campaign. However, it won’t be easy to get a win versus Nuno Espirito Santo’s side especially after they managed to knock Man United out of the FA Cup a few weeks ago.
Wolves will come into this game with a lot of confidence so we can expect an entertaining contest at the West Midlands with both sides going all out for the three points. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will likely opt for a 4-3-3 formation with Lukaku spearheading his attack up top.
4-3-3 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Wolves
Defence
David De Gea will lineup in goal for the away side despite failing to keep a clean sheet against Watford on Saturday afternoon. The Spanish international will be protected by the defensive pair of Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof as they look to cope with the threat of Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota.
Ashley Young will resume his duties at right-back once again as he tries to be productive down the right flank. Luke Shaw got an assist to show for his efforts versus the Hornets, so he will look to continue his excellent form at the Molineaux Stadium in midweek.
Man United may have returned to winning ways in the Premier League, but their defensive performances have been far from convincing. Hence, Solskjaer needs his defenders to step up their game and earn a clean sheet against Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.
Midfield
Solskjaer could tweak his midfield and go with the trio of Fred, Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba for this important away clash at the West Midlands. Pogba will once again be expected to make a significant contribution in this contest, especially after his under-par display at the weekend.
Both Scott McTominay and Ander Herrera might have to be content with a place on the Red Devils bench. The talented duo might come on during the encounter if required.
Attack
Solkjaer’s frontline would be composed of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford providing width down the flanks while Romelu Lukaku leads the line for the Mancunian outfit up front.
The Belgian striker was rested on Saturday so he should get the nod to start in this upcoming midweek clash versus the West Midlands side. Rashford will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net following his goal-scoring display against Javi Gracia’s men.
