Bruno Fernandes starts for Manchester United against Wolves – full team news and confirmed line-ups
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has thrown Bruno Fernandes straight into action for Manchester United, handing the midfielder his debut against Wolves.
The Portuguese midfielder signed for the club this week in a move which could be worth as much as £68m, once add-ons are factored in.
Fernandes comes with a big reputation having won the past two player-of-the-year awards in Portuguese football.
The Sporting midfielder, 25, is expecting to bring goals and assists to a United side that has been struggling in front of goal and is without the injured Marcus Rashford for at least another two months.
The teams
Manchester United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fernandes, Fred; Mata, Pereira, James; Martial
Wolves: Rui Patrício; Boly, Coady, Saiss; Doherty; Moutinho, Neves, Jonny; Traoré; Raúl Jiménez, Diogo Jota.
