Manchester United take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on the road in tonight’s Premier League encounter.

Ahead of the game, manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Matthijs de Ligt will be fit to play again.

Formation: 3-4-2-1

Predicted Line-up:

Senne Lammens has been ever-present in goal for the Red Devils since his debut in October. The Belgian ace will be eyeing his second clean sheet of the league campaign.

There will be one change to the backline with Ayden Heaven making way for Matthijs de Ligt. The Dutchman will start in the middle of the back three, with Noussair Mazraoui and Luke Shaw either side of him.

Lisandro Martinez could be introduced off the bench once more. The Argentine has just returned from a long-term knee injury, and could build his fitness with cameo appearances first.

Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot are assured to start in the right and left wing-back positions after combining for the only goal against West Ham United.

Similarly, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes are nailed-on starters in the centre of the park. They have been undroppable in recent matches.

Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are poised to continue in the number 10 role with Joshua Zirkzee expected to lead the line for United again.

Zirkzee has netted just once in the last three starts, but he was unlucky against Everton and West Ham. Jordan Pickford made a world-class diving save for the Toffees, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka came up with a stellar goalline clearance for the Hammers to deny the Dutchman.

Predicted Man Utd line-up: Lammens; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha; Zirkzee.
