Confirmed United XI vs Wolves: De Ligt on bench, Rashford not in squad, Yoro starts

Marcus Rashford is once again omitted from the Manchester United matchday squad for today’s Premier League clash against Wolves.

Rashford’s future at the club is in doubt as he has now been left out of four consecutive matchday squads by manager Ruben Amorim.

Alejandro Garnacho, who was also left out of the squad four matches ago, seems to have repaired the manager’s faith in him to some extent but he starts on the bench again today.

Rasmus Hojlund is up front, with Amad at right forward.

Bruno Fernandes captains the side and plays in one of the forward positions, probably left, with Amad Diallo taking up the right berth.

Matthijs de Ligt has recovered from the illness that saw him miss the last two matches but he has to make do with a spot on the bench.

The back three are Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez.

Manu Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo are the midfield duo, with Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui the wing backs.

Andre Onana is in goal.

Joining Garnacho and De Ligt on the bench are Altay Bayindir, Jonny Evans, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Toby Collyer, Antony and Josh Zirkzee.

Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof and Mason Mount are all out injured. Tyrell Malacia has been omitted from the squad.

Kick off at Molineux is at 5.30pm GMT.

COME ON UNITED! 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪#MUFC || #WOLMUN
