Man United on Europa League win high

Manchester United stunned Lyon with a dramatic three-goal flurry in extra time to complete a remarkable Europa League comeback, booking their place in the semi-finals. It was a welcome relief in what’s been a forgettable Premier League campaign.

United are languishing in 14th place. Manager Ruben Amorim has hinted at rotating the squad to prioritise their European run, but the Red Devils will still aim to maintain the winning spirit. Sunday’s match becomes vital as United hope to avoid sliding closer to the bottom three.

Manchester United Injury News

United are dealing with a growing absentee list, with seven players ruled out: Toby Collyer, Lisandro Martinez, Joshua Zirkzee, Ayden Heaven, Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans, and Amad Diallo. There is some good news though.

Victor Lindelof and Noussair Mazraoui who left midweek due to personal reasons, are expected to return. Amorim is likely to rotate heavily, with youngsters and fringe players, like Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, and Harry Amass are likely to start, keeping key players fresh for the upcoming Europa League semi-final.

Manchester United probable starting lineup:

Onana; Shaw, Lindelof, Yoro; Amass, Ugarte, Eriksen, Dalot; Garnarcho, Fernandes; Hojlund

Wolverhampton Wanderers Injury News

Wolves, riding a wave of strong form, have several injury concerns of their own. Sasa Kalajdzic, Leon Chiwome, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera, Pedro Lima, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are all doubtful. Matt Doherty is nursing a knock but should be fit enough to feature.

Matheus Cunha returned from suspension and scored against Spurs, making a strong case to start. In-form striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, with five goals in his last four matches, is expected to lead the attack once again at Old Trafford.

Wolverhampton Wanderers probable starting lineup:

Sa; T Gomes, Agbadou, Doherty; Nouri, J Gomes, Andre, Semedo; Cunha, Munetsi; Larsen
