Manchester United find themselves in the course of a rocky season. The team has mostly underperformed and is currently 5th on the table. United has lost several times to teams in the bottom half of the table. They lost the last 2 matches as well. All is not lost as they are coming off a victory against Manchester City and at a point they were much below the top 5. Thanks to Marcus Rashford leading the fray with his prolific goal scoring, United reached no.5 on the table. But with Rashford currently injured out, things look far from certain.
Wolves have had an interesting season. While it looked like last season was a one-hit wonder initially, all was turned around when they beat Manchester City for the first time. With players like Adama Traore’ and Jimenez playing brilliantly, they are approaching the top 6, maybe even top 4. They will look to advance further with a victory against United but since it’s still the Reddevils, racking up the 3 points is not exactly certain, especially when you consider that they’v hit a bit of a slump(1 win in last 5 matches).

MUN v WOL Dream11 Team News: Injuries and Suspensions
Biggest dent for Man United is the fact that Marcus Rashford is injured out. Nemanja Matic is suspended following a red card last week. Pogba and McTominay are injured out as well. A lot of attention is towards recent signee, Bruno Fernandes who had been under speculation to join the club for quite some time.
For Wolves, only Ruben Vinagre seems to be out. Neto could start instead of Diogo Jota.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams; Fred, Andreas; James, Fernandes, Mata; Martial
Wolves possible starting lineup:
Patricio; Dendoncker, Coady, Saiss; Doherty, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny; Neto, Jimenez, Traore
Head to Head(Last 6 PL matches):
Wolves: 2
Manchester United: 2
Draw: 2
Key Players:
Manchester United: Anthony Martial
Wolves: Adama Traore’
Prediction:
This is rather tough given that both teams have had poor strings of form in their last 5 matches. Still would give the edge to Wolves in a 2-1 victory given how strongly they performed against Liverpool. Jimenez and Traore’ are in exceptional form while Manchester United are missing some of their key players including their dependable goalscorer, Marcus Rashford.
