Manchester United faces significant challenges following their recent defeat to Bournemouth, marking consecutive losses in a few days. Early predictions, including those from Ruben Amorim himself, that it would take time for him to impose his style, are proving accurate. With games coming thick and fast and limited training time, the team is struggling to find consistency.
The team’s next challenge comes on Boxing Day, with a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who recently ended a four-match losing streak with an impressive win over Leicester City. Despite the challenges, Amorim will be focused on turning things around.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Goalkeeper:
- Andre Onana – Despite a few recent errors, Onana remains the first choice, especially with Altay Bayindir failing to impress in the Carabao Cup.
Defenders:
- Leny Yoro – The young French center-back has had a difficult start to his Premier League journey, recovering from injury and missing pre-season.
- Harry Maguire – Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Maguire has performed solidly and earned his spot in the lineup.
- Jonny Evans – The experienced defender has been reliable this season, and his consistency might be favored over Lisandro Martinez, who has struggled.
Midfielders:
- Noussair Mazraoui – The versatile Moroccan international has been adapting to various roles, and with more stability, he could become a key player.
- Casemiro – After being left out in recent matches, Casemiro may make a return to the starting XI, as United’s performances have dipped without him.
- Kobbie Mainoo – The young midfielder had a breakout season last year, but he has not hit the same form since his injury.
Wingers:
- Diogo Dalot – With Tyrell Malacia likely not fit to start, Dalot may be asked to take on the left flank once again.
- Amad Diallo – Diallo has been exceptional lately, with 11 goals and assists in his last 11 appearances, making him a key figure in United’s attack.
Attacker:
- Bruno Fernandes – As the captain, Fernandes has continued to deliver impressive performances, with nine goals and assists in the Premier League.
- Rasmus Højlund – The Danish striker looks set to fight for a regular starting spot alongside Joshua Zirkzee, needing chances to prove his worth.
