Man United vs Wolves: Match facts, Match preview, team news, key players

Manchester United face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

United could head into the game fatigued, having played for over two hours during their enthralling Europa League quarter-final second-leg clash with Lyon on Thursday.

By contrast, Wolves will be refreshed for this fixture. They have not played since last weekend when they defeated Tottenham Hotspur.

Match facts

United have just one win in their last five league home games but have won all league matches on their patch on Easter Sunday.

Wolves won the reverse fixture and are seeking their first league double over Man United since the 1979-80 season.

The away side have won their last three games on the road and would hope to continue their unbeaten run at Old Trafford.

Match preview

Manager Ruben Amorim will likely rest his key players for this encounter, which could give Wolves the advantage.

Wolves have almost secured their place in the top flight for another season, following an upturn in form under manager Vitor Pereira.

They are one of the most in-form teams in the division. They have won their last four games, while United have won just one within that span.

Team news

United will be without striker Joshua Zirkzee, who will miss the rest of the season alongside centre-back Lisandro Martinez.

Victor Lindelof and Noussair Mazraoui should be available after dealing with personal issues in midweek.

Wolves are sweating over the fitness of midfielder Ricner Bellegarde and defender Matt Doherty, while Hwang Hee-Chan is also a doubt.

Key players

Man United

Bruno Fernandes: The Portuguese has missed just one game this season, but it is unknown how much he will be involved in this game.

Harry Maguire: The defender was the hero against Lyon and has become a vital player under manager Ruben Amorim.

Wolves

Matheus Cunha: The Brazilian is one of the most in-form forwards in the division. He registered two goal contributions in the reverse fixture.

Jorgen Strand Larsen: The striker is in red-hot form, scoring five goals in the last four league games. Only Cunha has more goals than him in the Wolves squad.
