Man Utd predicted line-up and team news: Will Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stick to winning team or give Daniel James start? – The Sun

MANCHESTER UNITED are looking to build on their stunning Premier League start after they thrashed Chelsea 4-0 at Old Trafford last weekend.

The Red Devils face Wolves at Molineux tonight with Nuno Espirito Santo looking for his side's first win of the season after their 0-0 draw at Leicester.

And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed his side are in good shape ahead of the Midlands clash and expects to have the same players at his disposal as he had for Chelsea.

Welsh winger Dan James had a dream start to his Old Trafford career when he came off the bench to score United's fourth in the rout.

And James, 21, could even start against Wolves as Solskjaer looks to build a team full of youth.

The Welshman replaced Andreas Pereira on 74 minutes against Chelsea last Sunday and it is the Brazilian who he could replace in the starting XI.

After going berserk following his debut strike, which deflected off Blues' defender Emerson and past Kepa into the net, 21-year-old James completed a brilliant couple of days by signing a mega money boot deal with Adidas.

ALTERNATIVE XI

While the inclusion of James is the obvious change for Solskjaer to make, the Manchester United boss could opt for a more rigid 4-4-2 formation.

Were he to put two up front, Rashford and Martial would be the clear choice.

Juan Mata could then be an option to come into the midfield four, with the Spaniard offering experience which could come in handy away at Wolves.

Unless due to an injury, the back four looks certain to stay the same as it was against Chelsea with Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof joined by new boys Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

 

Speaking ahead of Monday night's game, Solskjaer confirmed he expects Chilean flop Alexis Sanchez to step up to the plate this season – although tonight's match will come too soon.

The Norwegian said: "We expect him to come good at this club. He's part of our squad and he's a very, very good player.

"He's just had a couple of weeks training, three weeks now, so he's a few weeks behind the rest, but he's very close to being part of the squad.”
