3-4-3 Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs Wolves
Defence
Andre Onana didn’t have much impact on the previous game and he surely needs toget better with his distribution skills. Leny Yoro is likely to returninto the backline at the expense of Harry Maguire.
While Lisandro Martinez continues in the three-man backline, Matthijs de Ligt is expected to get the green light afterhaving recovered from illness.

Midfield
Noussair Mazraoui should be used on the right wing, sending Tyrell Malacia back to the bench. However, Diogo Dalot continues to operate on the other flank.
Kobbie Mainoo is struggling withthe form and he might have to make way for Casemiro. The Brazilian midfielder willhave the company of Manuel Ugarte in the middle of the park.
Attack
Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes are again pairing up as the attacking options in the starting lineup. However, as Joshua Zirkzee failed to impressyet again, Rasmus Hojlund is expected to take up the striker duties.
Ruben Amorim will also have to decide whether to bring Marcus Rashford back into the squador not. Even if he returns, heis unlikely to find himself in the starting lineup.
Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelöf, and Mason Mount are unavailable for this fixture due to injuries.
