Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers: Premier League

Alejandro Garnacho could return to the starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 7. | IMAGO/Every Second Media

Manchester United take on Wolverhampton Wanderers looking for their second Premier League victory of the month that could help them climb from 13th in the standings.

It's been an up and down start to the Ruben Amorin era in the red side of Manchester. An 0–3 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford last time out highlighted the issues United's squad currently has, continuing to show the work Amorim's got cut out to rebuild the Red Devils.

Wolves at home should give United a chance to return to winning ways, but nothing is a given with this team and they'll have to be at their best if they're to come away with three points on boxing day.

Amorim will be without Victor Lindeloff and Mason Mount who'll be out until the new year. Matthijs de Ligt could return after missing out vs. Bournemouth due to an illness. It'll be interesting to see if Marcus Rashford makes the squad for the first time in three games.

Here's how Manchester United could line up vs. Wolves at Molineux Stadium
