Amorim handed golden chance as Wolves face Man United with five stars out, two more doubtful

Manchester United head to Molineux Stadium tonight knowing they can ill-afford another slip-up as they face struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Their recent form of just one win in the last five games has dragged them down to 12th place.

Wolverhampton Wanderers already look trapped in a relegation battle, having collected only two points from 12 matches.

They have not even scored a goal in their last five outings.

Problems for Wolves coach Rob Edwards have further increased with many of his players injured or suspended for the encounter.

The biggest blow is the absence of midfield engine Joao Gomes, who is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

The availability of Ladislav Krejci is also not confirmed with the 26-year-old having missed the last two games due to a knee injury.

Marshall Munetsi suffered a calf setback in the previous encounter, joining Rodrigo Gomes, Leon Chiwome and Daniel Bentley on the treatment table.

Hugo Bueno is now racing the clock in a desperate attempt to prove his fitness for tonight’s showdown.

Given the current form of the hosts and unavailability of several players, Man United have no excuse not to win this game.

Manager Ruben Amorim has to set up his side for a big win.

Despite the absence of Benjamin Sesko and Harry Maguire, United still possess enough firepower to steamroll a Wolves side that has yet to win a league game this season.

A win could lift United into 5th or 6th place, injecting belief ahead of next week’s crucial home fixture against AFC Bournemouth.
