Manchester United take on Wolves in the Premier League‘s Monday night fixture as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side look to build on their spectacular start to the season.

United thrashed Chelsea 4-0 last weekend, with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford impressing up front, while there were further positives in the performances of debutants Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire

Wolves endured a dire draw with Leicester to begin their campaign but were unfortunate to see Leander Dendoncker’s match-winning header ruled out by VAR.

New signing Patrick Cutrone came off the bench during the match but it remains to be seen whether the former AC Milan forward will be given his full debut by Nuno Espirito Santo.

Here is everything you need to know:

Prediction

Wolves can put up a formidable test and may actually be trickier to break down than Chelsea,

but there were encouraging signs for Solskjaer’s side last weekend and in a gritty game they should just about be able to fall back on their quality and take three points on away soil.
