Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up in Saturday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Manchester United could have Lisandro Martinez back at the heart of their defence for Saturday's Premier League contest with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Argentina international was not involved in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest due to his exertions at the World Cup, but he has been back training with the team since Wednesday.

As a result, Martinez could start alongside Raphael Varane on Saturday, with Luke Shaw moving across to left-back.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka will continue at right-back if Diogo Dalot cannot overcome a hamstring problem in time for the contest, while the same midfield and front three that started against Forest should continue in the side.

Indeed, Casemiro should again be joined by Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes in midfield, with Antony, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford playing as the front three.

Axel Tuanzebe is the team's only confirmed absentee at this stage, as the defender battles back from a long-term issue.

However, alongside Dalot, Victor Lindelof (illness), Scott McTominay (illness) and Jadon Sancho (fitness) remain doubts for the 20-time English champions ahead of the contest at Molineux.

Should Martinez not be deemed fit to start, and Lindelof is again absent through illness, then club captain Harry Maguire could start in the middle of the defence.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Fernandes, Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Martial, Rashford
