Wolves Predicted Lineup vs Manchester United, As Hosts Desperate For Points

How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently

Last time out, in the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, Rob Edwards went with a 3-4-3 formation, with Sam Johnstone in goal and a midfield trio of Yerson Mosquera, Toti Gomes, and Emmanuel Agbadou.

The midfield comprised André, João Gomes, Jackson Tchatchoua, and David Møller Wolfe, and the front three were Jhon Arias, Jørgen Strand Larsen, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.

Wolves Recent Form And Tactics

Form has been bleak. Wolves remain without a win this season; last week’s loss to Nottingham Forest extended the sequence of losses and underwhelming displays. Tactically, Wolves have increasingly relied on a conservative back-five system, aiming to absorb pressure and launch counterattacks rather than build from the back with sustained possession. The midfield with Gomes and André has used physicality to win the ball back often, while the wing-backs provide width.

However, creativity has been a concern. Wolves have struggled to create clear-cut chances or any consistent attacking rhythm. Edwards himself has said: “We’re in this bad, bad situation, but how do you want this to go? Do you want to fade away, or do you want to fight?

Injuries And Suspensions To Consider

João Gomes will be suspended for this game after picking up five yellow cards. Marshall Munetsi has a calf issue that will keep him out of selection and potentially the African Cup of Nations. Ladislav Krejči is also back training on grass, but not with the rest of the group, so he will also be unavailable.
