Manchester United ease to victory as Wolves sink deeper into the abyss

Meanwhile, the hosts come into the game in terrible form, having suffered eight straight defeats in all competitions and failing to score in each of their past five matches.

Rob Edwards was appointed head coach last month to replace Vitor Pereira, but he has overseen the most recent three defeats. Despite the lack of goals, performances have shown signs of improvements, with their last two defeats coming by just a single goal.

If there are two crumbs of comfort for the Wolves faithful to cling on to, they are their side’s two standout victories over Manchester United last season, although the visitors have not lost back-to-back league games at Molineux for 45 years.

In terms of team news, Joao Gomes is unavailable for the hosts after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in their defeat by Nottingham Forest. The midfielder joins Daniel Bentley, Leon Chiwome, Fernando Lopez and Rodrigo Gomes on the sidelines.

Amorim expects central defender Matthijs de Ligt to be available for selection after the Dutchman missed the West Ham game because of a knock.

Leny Yoro might feature for the visitors following a substitute appearance on Thursday night, while Matheus Cunha is expected to play against his former club.

Finally, Benjamin Sesko remains sidelined with a knee injury sustained in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur and Harry Maguire looks set to miss out with a hamstring injury.
