United Faces Wolves After European Win
Manchester United gears up for a Premier League match against Wolves following their exhilarating Europa League victory, where they secured a comeback win against Lyon to reach the semifinals. This Sunday’s game marks a crucial moment for the Red Devils as they navigate their struggling season.
United’s Current Performance
Despite their resilience in Europe, United’s overall performance has been disappointing, placing them 14th in the Premier League. The team’s focus has shifted predominantly towards the Europa League, which represents their best chance for silverware this season. Continued struggles in the league, however, could jeopardize their prospects for European qualification.
Injury Updates
United is currently facing substantial injury challenges in defense. Lisandro Martinez is out for the season due to a torn ACL. Additionally, Matthijs de Ligt and Jonny Evans are unavailable, although Noussair Mazraoui and Victor Lindelöf are back for selection after personal matters kept them out during the previous match.
Probable Formations
In the upcoming match against Wolves, Manchester United is expected to utilize a 3-4-3 formation. The lineup will likely feature goalkeeper Andre Onana, with a defensive trio comprised of Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, and Lindelöf. Midfield will include Diogo Dalot, Mason Mount, Manuel Ugarte, and Luke Shaw, while Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund, and Alejandro Garnacho are anticipated as forwards.
Wolves’ Situation
Wolves are also looking to secure their position in the Premier League, aiming to avoid relegation. They are dealing with their own injury issues, missing players like Yerson Mosquera and Sasa Kalajdzic. Hee-Chan Hwang is doubtful, and both Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Matt Doherty’s availability is uncertain after exits from their last encounter.
Viewing Options
Fans can watch the match streamed live on Peacock in the United States, with kickoff scheduled for 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT this Sunday.
