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.​
