Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's final Premier League fixture of 2022 against Wolves at Molineux this lunchtime, making a huge selection call.
United, who have won three of their last four meetings with Wolves, will be looking to register a fifth successive victory in all competitions following Tuesday night's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman, as expected, has opted to tinker with as little as possible with his starting line-up, making just one change.
