How Manchester United arrives
Despite favoritism, Manchester United are struggling to approach this match. Coach Ruben Amorim will not have to support Bruno Fernandes, his main player, injured. The same goes for Maguire and Mason to go up. Of Light remains vetoed, with a back problem. Three other players are with their teams in the African Cup: Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo And Noussair Mazraoui. Amorim should nevertheless maintain the 3-6-1 formation, with Casemiro and Ugarte further back for the advances of the wingers Dalot and Matheus Nunes, with Sesko in command of the attack.
How does Wolverhampton arrive?
With an inconsistent campaign and facing one of the big players, there is no sign that Wolverhampton will make a bold plan to score. They must therefore maintain a very defensive pattern. Despite this, coach Rob Edwards is very sorry for André’s absence. THE ex-Fluminense He is the main player of the team and is serving a suspension.
“André is very important and we won’t have him in this match, just when the team needs him the most. We are coming off a complicated match with Liverpool in Anfield and now United, but we can definitely learn some things from these games,” Rob Edwards said.
João Gomes should therefore play a little deeper, almost like a defender. The main bet is on the 18-year-old boy, Mateus Mané, Arokodare in front.
