How Man Utd will line up vs Wolves with Rashford set to lead the line and Greenwood missing out
OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER is set to field a strong team against Wolves on Wednesday night with Marcus Rashford in line to play.
A spate of injuries means Manchester United are reluctant to rest the star forward as they toy with giving Mason Greenwood a run-out.
Any rotation in the attack would involve calling up a youngster with Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong looking for a rare start.
Jesse Lingard is a doubt through illness while Juan Mata could be given a second game in a week after notching two assists versus Norwich on the weekend.
Also out are Eric Bailly and Timothy Fosu-Menash as they edge towards a return from their long-term injuries.
And Ashley Young is expected to continue his exile since becoming strongly linked with a move to Inter Milan, opening the door for Brandon Williams to continue at left-back.
Furthermore, Luke Shaw being a doubt with a hamstring complaint may provide the recently recalled Cameron Borthwick-Jackson with a spot on the bench.
In goal, David De Gea is competing with Sergio Romero after the Spaniard was favoured for the recent League Cup clash with Manchester City.
United are reportedly in advanced negotiations over a move for Sporting CP midfielder Bruno Fernandes but that will not be completed in time for him to feature.
Marcos Rojo is one rumoured component of that deal and he joins Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay on the absentee list for Wednesday’s FA Cup replay.

And Solskjaer hopes to avoid having to rest players, so long as he can keep the team in good nick.
He told reporters: “Results give you energy.
“One good result and performance like Norwich, and they feel good about themselves. Bad results have to be used as a motivation, as in ‘we’re not there yet we need to keep improving’.
“When I was playing I felt us as a team got rhythm of match rest match rest, I never got that physical thing. Players like Roy Keane, [Paul] Scholesy and Gary Neville only seemed to improve.”
