Manchester United vs Wolves - United without suspended pair Matic and Rashford

Posted Saturday, September 22, 2018 by PA

Marcus Rashford and Nemanja Matic will miss Manchester United’s return to Premier League action against Wolves through suspension.

Rashford serves the second of a three-game ban while Matic will complete a one-match suspension after being sent off at Watford last weekend. Both players started Wednesday’s Champions League win at Young Boys, where Antonio Valencia and Jesse Lingard were rested.

The duo are back in contention on Saturday when Phil Jones could return, but Ander Herrera and Marcos Rojo are not fit to be involved. United boss Jose Mourinho confirmed Diogo Dalot will not start despite impressing on his debut in Switzerland and will instead start next week’s Carabao Cup match against Derby.

Wolves are likely to be unchanged for a sixth consecutive Premier League game when they travel to Old Trafford.

Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has resisted making alterations to his starting line up so far this season, with club-record signing Adama Traore being used as an impact substitute since his £18million arrival last month.

Portuguese winger Ivan Cavaleiro is expected to be Wolves’ only absentee as he continues his recovery from a back injury.
