Wolves vs. Man United lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news, injuries: Amorim faces Rashford decision

Manchester United are back in Premier League action on December 26 as they face a Boxing Day trip Wolves.

The Red Devils continue to be inconsistent under new boss Ruben Amorim and suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth last weekend.

New Wolves boss Vitor Pereira enjoyed a strong start to life in the EPL with a 3-0 victory on the road at local rivals Leicester City in his first match in charge.

This contest ended 4-3 to United last season, and given each team’s respective problems in keeping the ball out of their own nets, there is a chance of another high-scoring affair this time.

Defeat to Bournemouth could force another reshuffle for Amorim as he looks for the best formula at Old Trafford. Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof are all sidelined until January, but Matthijs de Ligt should return from a virus.

The big call for Amorim focuses on a possible return for Marcus Rashford, who has been absent from the United squad following his indication of looking for a new challenge. There is a chance he could make the bench.

Man United predicted lineup (3-4-3, right to left): Onana (GK) — Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez — Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Malacia — Amad Diallo, Hojlund, Fernandes.

Injured: Shaw (undisc.), Mount (thigh), Lindelof (muscle), De Ligt (illness, doubt)
