Manchester United take on Wolves in tonight’s Premier League action.
Ruben Amorim’s side limped to a 1-1 draw with West Ham United last time out, dropping more points and missing the chance to move into the top five.
In Wolves, they take on the only side in the league still to win a game this season, stranded on two points from 14 games with the recent appointment of Rob Edwards doing little to lift them from their malaise.
While United did pick up a rare win against Crystal Palace, their familiar problems have begun to resurface.
Wolves have the chance to pile more misery on Amorim and finally get themselves off the mark tonight.

Matthijs de Ligt left out of Man Utd squad
Tony Mogan
The Dutchman has not recovered in time to feature tonight.

Will Kobbie Mainoo play this evening?
Tony Mogan
The clamour for Kobbie Mainoo be involved only grew during that listless display against West Ham last week~/ but Amorim has been adamant he will not be pressured into any selection decision with the England international.
Mainoo has still not started a league game this season. Molineux was the scene of one of his best moments of the season last term, curling home that sublime 97th minute winner but even with games thick and fast, there isn’t much to suggest Amorim will bring him into the team tonight.

How Man Utd could line up tonight
Tony Mogan
With Ayden Heaven hooked at half-time against West Ham, de Ligt will surely reclaim his place in the team tonight if passed fit.
Casemiro started again last Thursday and there will be occasions in the coming weeks when the Brazilian will have to be rested. But with Manuel Ugarte doing little to demonstrate he is a capable understudy, Amorim will hope to delay that.

Man Utd team news tonight
Tony Mogan
Ruben Amorim hopes to have Matthijs de Ligt available this evening after the Dutchman missed the draw with West Ham United last time out.
Diogo Dalot came off with a knock shortly after scoring against the Hammers but he is expected to make the squad tonight.
Harry Maguire and Benjamin Sesko remain sidelined but Matheus Cunha is fit to face his former side.
