Manchester United will clash heads with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium on Monday night after claiming a brilliant 4-0 win over Chelsea last weekend. The Red Devils will be full of confidence heading into this contest as they look to see off the challenge of their West Midlands opponents in the Premier League.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and might name an unchanged team for this upcoming league encounter against Wolves.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Wolves
Defence
David De Gea will keep his place in goal for the Red Devils after securing a clean sheet against Chelsea last weekend. Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire will try to provide adequate cover for the Spanish keeper when they lineup at the centre of Solskjaer’s backline. The defensive pair impressed a lot of fans with their commanding display versus the Pensioners on Sunday, so they would look to build on that performance by keeping another shut-out on Monday night.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka will operate as the right-back with the hope of influencing the game more often in the opposition half. Luke Shaw will try to put in a tireless shift down the left flank and deliver some telling crosses into the Wolves penalty box.
Midfield
Both Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay will play as the holding midfielders as they look to win the ball back for the away side and establish their dominance at the middle of the pitch. The duo will also be responsible for feeding the ball to the front players. The young trio of Jesse Lingard, Andreas Pereira and Marcus Rashford will operate in the opposition half trying to cause a lot of headaches for Nuno Espirito Santo’s defenders.
Rashford scored a brace against Chelsea last weekend so his confidence would be sky-high ahead of this encounter at the Molineux Stadium. Alexis Sanchez is a slight doubt and will be in a race against time to be fit for this league encounter.
Attack
Anthony Martial will lead the line for Man United upfront. The French striker found the back of the net against the Pensioners which will give him a confidence boost as well heading into this match away at the West Midlands.
