Wolves team news
Daniel Podence notched his third league goal of the season against Everton but limped off early with a lower leg injury.
The Wolves medical staff are 'optimistic' about imminent returns for Jonny Castro Otto and Boubacar Traore. Pedro Neto isn't expected back from an ankle problem until February while Chiquinho is targeting March for the conclusion of his ACL recovery. Sasa Kalajdzic is unlikely to figure again this season after sustaining the same severe injury in September.
Wolves predicted lineup vs Man Utd
Wolves Starting 11 (4-3-3): Sa; Semedo, Collins, Kilman, Ait-Nouri; Nunes, Neves, Moutinho; Hwang, Costa, Guedes.
Bench: Sarkic, Toti, Bueno, Lembikisa, Hodge, Ronan, B Traore, A Traore, Jimenez.
Man Utd team news
Harry Maguire was fit enough to make a late cameo against Nottingham Forest and may return to the starting lineup after another three days to fully recover from a virus which has swept through the squad.
Both Victor Lindelof and Scott McTominay were forced to sit out Tuesday's win through illness, forcing Luke Shaw into an unfamiliar centre-back role. Lisandro Martinez should soon provide another option as the World Cup winner is poised to return to Carrington.
Diogo Dalot is nearing the conclusion of a hamstring injury but Jadon Sancho and Axel Tuanzebe aren't set to feature this weekend.
Man Utd predicted lineup vs Wolves
Man Utd Starting 11 (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial.
Bench: Heaton, Malacia, Martinez, Williams, Van de Beek, Fred, Elanga, Garnacho, Iqbal.
Wolves vs Man Utd score prediction
Both clubs are eyeing attacking arrivals in January. Wolves have already acted with the signing of Matheus Cunha and Erik ten Hag has made his desire for another striker abundantly clear.
Despite the comfortable nature of their victory, Ten Hag demanded 'more goals' from his side against Forest. That has been a constant cry for Wolves fans (and players and managers) across the last 18 months.
Lopetegui has made a positive start to life at Molineux but the division's lowest scorers may well have their mini-resurgence checked in the final game before the January transfer window opens by a sharp and in-form Manchester United side.
Prediction: Wolves 0-2 Man Utd
