Manchester United are gearing up to take on Wolves this evening, aiming to rise up the Premier League table. A victory at Molineux could see Ruben Amorim's squad climb several places.
United have lost just one of their last eight matches, following a draw with West Ham in midweek. The team will be optimistic about securing a win against Wolves, who have only managed to gather two points so far this season.
Away from the pitch, United continue to be linked with potential deals as the January transfer window approaches. MEN Sport takes a look at some of the latest headlines involving United.
Man United discover Wharton plan
Manchester United have been told what is required to match Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton's ambitions. Amorim's side were repeatedly linked with the 21-year-old during the summer as they sought to bolster their midfield.
With three-and-a-half years left on his contract at Palace, a move for Wharton in January seems unlikely. However, the player's agent has outlined a career plan for his client, which involves joining a Champions League club and becoming a regular for England, having already earned three caps.

"Personally I think to play for England you have to play Champions League, to play in the Champions League you have got to play for one of the top teams in one of the top leagues," Wharton's agent James Featherstone told talkSPORT. "That jump to a Champions League team, I think you can get lost. The plan below that was to play for a Premier League team. We have got a plan.
"He is 21. I have to check myself to remember that every now and then. It doesn't have to be achieved yesterday, today or this moment.
"He has got his in-game, in-season targets and goals. He has got to do his bit and the rest will look after itself in a very structured, calm way to ultimately add value and maximise his ability."

Dalot calls for mentality change
Diogo Dalot has challenged his teammates to stop viewing themselves as part of a long-term project. The United full-back, who netted against West Ham, believes the squad needs to ramp up their desire to win matches to bring success back to Old Trafford.
"I think we've shown this season that we can be a very good team and we can beat anybody. Then, it's something that we need to get into ourselves," Dalot said.
"Sometimes, it's not football qualities. It has to be from inside. It has to be from the anger and the drive that you have every day to win football games and to live your life like that.
"I think we need to become a bit more obsessed about playing for this club, winning games and winning trophies for this club. But it's a process. I'm not going to get into the 'we need time' thing.
"I think we have to win straight away because that's what the club demands. That's why it hurts sometimes even more when we have opportunities like this and we don't win."
