Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League encounter with Wolves at Old Trafford this afternoon, making a handful of changes.
United, who won the reverse fixture at Molineux 1-0, will be looking to get back to winning ways after back-to-back 1-0 away defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United respectively. The Reds were second-best in both games and are in desperate need of getting their top-four charge back on track.
