Wolves v Manchester United: match preview

Wolves v Manchester United
Wolves v Manchester United: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

For his 100th league game as Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjær could deploy a style that has served him well so far. Counter-attacking has been one of the keys to United’s impressive away form during his reign and Wolves, who have become ultra-offensive under Bruno Lage, may play into their hands, a little like Leeds did on the opening day. On the flip side, Wolves intensity and audacity could stress United’s midfield and defence. If Wolves’ finishing is better than it was in their first two games, then this could be a landmark day for Lage, too, and Wolves’ first win of the season. Paul Doyle
