Team news

New Manchester United signing Bruno Fernandes will be part of Saturday's matchday 18, although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did not confirm if he would make the XI or start on the bench.

"He's fit enough to play and he'll be involved definitely," the manager said. "He'll be in the squad. Let's get the training out of the way today."

Fernandes' arrival has come at a good time with a number of players missing this weekend. Nemanja Matic is suspended and Marcos Rojo has joined Estudiantes on a six-month loan, while Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay and Axel Tuanzebe all remain out through injury.

  • Manchester United are unbeaten in 11 home games against Wolves in all competitions (W9 D2) since losing 0-1 in February 1980 in a top-flight match - they haven't trailed for a single minute in all those 11 unbeaten games.
  • Wolves are yet to win an away Premier League match against Man Utd in five attempts (D1 L4), only facing Arsenal more often away from home without winning (six games).
  • Manchester United have lost just two of their last 60 home league games in February (W42 D16), losing against Middlesbrough in 2004 and Man City in 2008.
  • Manchester United have failed to score in seven of their 24 Premier League games this season, equalling their total from the entirety of 2018-19. United have drawn a blank in three of their last four Premier League matches, including each of the last two.
  • Manchester United have lost their last two Premier League games without scoring - they've only ever lost three in a row without finding the net once before in the competition, doing so between April-May 2015 under Louis van Gaal.
  • Wolves came from behind to win their last away game in the Premier League against Southampton - they last won consecutive away matches in the top-flight in August 2011.
  • Wolves have conceded the first goal in more Premier League games than any other team this season (17 of 24). However, Nuno Espírito Santo's side have won 18 points from losing positions this term, a league-high total.
  • Manchester United's record of 34 points after 24 games in 2019-20 is their worst total at this stage of a season since 1989-90 (25 points), when they went on to finish in 13th place in the top-flight.
  • Wolves striker Raúl Jiménez has been directly involved in 20 goals in his last 22 appearances in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and assisting eight more.
  • Only Marcus Rashford (13) has scored more goals in all competitions for Manchester United at Old Trafford this season than teenager Mason Greenwood (8), who has netted with eight of his 14 shots on target.

Charlie's prediction

Manchester United are all over the place, though I applaud Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's personality and the way he handles the mayhem, even if I think he is overprotecting the players. Supporters being at war with Ed Woodward is utterly ridiculous but Solskjaer has done well to manage the pressure. I think he will get through to the end of the season - but not beyond, though. United beat Wolves in the FA Cup, but this is a different proposition. I think Nuno's side will get revenge here.
