Looks like they're parking the bus and hitting on the break with Neto and Traore as the two up top. I'm feeling nervous all of a sudden, we haven't faced a real wall in couple of games now and I'm afraid that we'll grow impatient if we don't score in the first half an hour.

Hope Cavani smashes their back doors in.
Tried that. No joy
Did you set the VPN to UK?We have not beaten wolves since they came up.5 Portuguese starting for Wolves but the best one plays for United.
Might still be quicker than Matic
(I actually loved Matic last year but I think hes lost a lot of form this campaign, so far)Matic, Pogba and Bruno midfield, that hasn't gone well previously, Traore will be rubbing his hands. Let's hope we get away with it, and our forwards pop in a couple of goals.
Is his mask upside down ?“Keep it tight at the back and just go for goals” thanks Phil
Yeah. It’s too slow but hopefully Wolves won’t press us hard allowing us time on the ball. Fred and Mctominay are pretty much useless when we have the ball.Feck this best of the rest shite, lets be the best.
Never worn that type so not sure.Starting Cavani is a good idea as we'll need to take our chances in the first half so that we can endure the inevitable Wolves pressure that'll come in the second. Pogba and a fully rested Matic should be able to outwork the tired Wolves midfield. Hope Bailly keeps his head against Neto and Traore.Ole specifically talked about crossing to Cavani in his pre-match interview. It'll be interesting to see if he expects that from Rashford/Greenwood or Telles/AWB. Either way, it'll be good to see a width. It tells us he wants to exploit Wolves' 3-5-2.
Definitely the other way around
It seems like Fred is the capybara of our midfield
Yeah, but I find it more comfortable that way when I have glasses on.
Come on United, give us something to be happy about!
Looks like it
We should play our home games at wembly ?Traore will give Maguire a difficult time. Hope he's up to task.Kick-offBig Clive commentating a Utd PL game, bit special.Is it Shearer co commentating?Nuno looks like a cross between Santa Clause and a garden gnome.Come on United!Well, time to enjoy the match. I'm outta this thread...
Pogba and Matic. I'm wary of them being overrun but let's hope they run the show.
Wolves have shuffled their pack too. A few players I don't know too much about and Nelson Semedo drops to the bench, he's a player I like with his energy and his willingness to break up the play and move the ball forwards.Bailly.
I don't think Matic alone will be enough of a screen in front of Maguire and Eric. Pogba needs to show more positioning sense than he normally does or we will be under the pump massively.
Dread!
Yeah. At least I have dazn as backupIf that got to cavaniOur tactic so far is give it to Telles to cross in for CavaniLooks like we’ve got over our slow startsThey are giving us lots of space....That first corner routine sums up our corners.Quite how the Wolves defenders passed their way out of that situation I'll never know.That was excellent by Wolves from playing it out their box into our half. We could learn a thing or two in tight positions- Status
