Match preview for Manchester United v Wolves
Fresh off one of the most dramatic comebacks in their history, Manchester United return to Premier League action on Sunday as they host Wolves.
Ruben Amorim’s side were staring down the barrel on Thursday, trailing Lyon 4-2 on the night and 6-4 on aggregate.
However, three goals in just six minutes of extra time flipped the tie on its head and saw United seal their place in the Europa League semi-finals.
That victory provided a rare bright spot in a turbulent domestic season. Currently 14th in the Premier League table with just 38 points, United have failed to win any of their last three league games, collecting only one point in that run.

Head coach Ruben Amorim has hinted at prioritising Europe and possibly rotating his squad this weekend.
Wolves, however, arrive at Old Trafford on a roll. Vitor Pereira’s men have taken 13 points from their last five league matches, including an eye-catching 4-2 win over Spurs last time out.
They’ve only lost once in their last six away fixtures and now sit 14 points above the relegation zone.
