Team News

Manchester United
No major injuries to report for United, giving Ruben Amorim a full-strength squad to choose from. With Garnacho and Fernandes in form and Ugarte commanding midfield, United’s shape will remain a 3-4-3. A European classic win over Lyon should provide some confidence after a poor run in domestic games.

Wolves
Vitor Pereira’s side will be without a few key players. Matheus Cunha and Enso Gonzalez are sidelined, weakening their attacking options. Defenders Mosquera and Pedro Lima are also out. However, the form of Joao Gomes and Bellegarde, along with newcomer Jorgen Larsen’s threat up front, gives them plenty to work with.
