Manchester United line up vs Wolves includes Daniel James and Paul Pogba

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named his team to face Wolves with just one change from the Manchester United side that beat Chelsea last week.

Goals from Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and debutant Daniel James secured an impressive opening day win for United at Old Trafford, but they will face a different test at Molineux tonight.

United lost both meetings at Wolves last season in the Premier League and FA Cup, while the two sides drew in the home fixture.

So Solskjaer will be hoping for a better performance this time, and he has opted to trust the players who were so impressive against Chelsea with only James replacing Andreas Pereira.

That means David de Gea starts in goal, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw at left-back.

Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay resume in midfield with James, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford linking up in attack with new number nine Anthony Martial in the central striker role.

On the bench, Axel Tuanzebe again gets the nod ahead of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling as the reserve central defender, with Smalling not part of the travelling squad.

Man Utd starting XI vs Wolves: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Pogba, James, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

Subs: Romero, Tuanzebe, Young, Pereira, Mata, Matic, Greenwood.
