Manchester United must be determined to return to winning ways in the Premier League. They welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Old Trafford for Tuesday evening’s showdown.
Man United drew at Leicester while Wolves kept Tottenham to a 1-1 stalemate on Sunday evening. Both teams came away with a point from their most recent meetings.
The away record of Manchester United in the top flight is nothing short of sensational. And Leicester City faced an uphill fight to be the ones to end the 10-game Premier League winning streak of the Red Devils on the road. The clash between two Champions League-chasing sides of Boxing Day lived up to its billing.
And a late Axel Tuanzebe’s own goal ensured that Leicester walked away with a point. Harvey Barnes had initially levelled the scores, despite going 2-1 up thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes. Wolverhampton Wanderers, meanwhile, welcomed Tottenham Hotspur. The Wolves would no doubt be happy with a point after a 1-1 draw.
Victor Lindelof was unable to play through the pain against Leicester as his chronic back problem forced him off in the second period. And the makeshift right-back is not expected to feature on Tuesday. The Red Devils have not disclosed details regarding Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s injury. Tuanzebe should be given the chance to redeem himself with a start against Wolves.
As for Wolves, Marcal struggled near the end of the game on Sunday evening. And with less than 48 hours to recover, Rayan Ait Nouri is likely to start against Man United. Long-term absentees Raul Jimenez and Jonny Otto were joined in the stands. Leander Dendoncker and Willy Boly remain major doubts for this one too.
Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Tuanzebe, Maguire, Bailly, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Cavani
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup: Patricio; Semedo, Coady, Saiss, Ait Nouri; Neves, Moutinho; Traore, Podence, Neto; Silva
