Everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League clash at Molineux on Tuesday
After an unconvincing victory over Watford on Saturday, Manchester United have a revenge mission ahead of them at Wolves on Tuesday as they look to reclaim their place in the top four.
United were knocked out of the FA Cup by Nuno Espirito Santo’s side at Molineux little more than two weeks ago, and they will need to improve on a performance that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer called the worst of his reign if they are to get a better result this time around and keep the pressure on Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal.
Alexis Sanchez is still out with a knee injury and Antonio Valencia has also been ruled out of the trip to the West Midlands despite returning recently for Ecuador.
Eric Bailly and Matteo Darmian will also miss out, but there is good news too after Anthony Martial was given the all-clear following an injury which forced him off during the second half of Saturday’s win over Watford.
Romelu Lukaku will travel despite having not made it off the bench at Old Trafford after a foot problem, and Victor Lindelof will play having been given the day off for personal reasons against Watford.
Luke Shaw remains one yellow card short of a two-match ban, although he will be free from suspension worries if he escapes a booking on Tuesday as the second amnesty of the season kicks in after 32 league games.
While Romelu Lukaku could come back into his thinking, Solskjaer may well give his favoured front three of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard a run-out on Tuesday.
Martial and Rashford both started and scored on Saturday, while Lingard came on to provide an assist for the France international.
There ought to be no surprises in midfield, but there could be a late call on which centre-back pairing to select now that Victor Lindelof is back available. Phil Jones and Chris Smalling were both impressive at the weekend and Marcos Rojo returned after more than three months out, giving Solskjaer plenty of options to choose from.
Nuno Espirito Santo has the luxury of a relatively injury-free squad to choose from, although he may be left pondering the possibility of making some changes ahead of Sunday’s big date in the FA Cup semi-final against Watford at Wembley.
Kick-off is 7:45pm BST (2:45pm ET) on Tuesday, and will be shown live in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event. It will be shown on NBCSN in the United States, and on various channels around the world.
