Marcus Rashford is fit to start while Edinson Cavani comes in for Anthony Martial as Manchester United prepare to take on Wolves at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made six changes to the side that started in the 2-2 draw with Leicester City in the Premier League on Boxing Day as Manchester United get set to lock horns with Wolves at Old Trafford in their final game of 2020. There are no shuffles in goal, with David de Gea starting ahead of Dean Henderson again.

The defence, though, witnesses a couple of changes, with Victor Lindelof unavailable, while Luke Shaw has been given a breather. In their stead, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Alex Telles start as the two full-backs. Eric Bailly and captain Harry Maguire pair up at the heart of the Manchester United defence against Wolves.

The midfield double pivot has a new look as well, with Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic coming into the side; Fred and Scott McTominay have made way for the aforementioned duo. Bruno Fernandes, meanwhile, continues to reprise the no. 10 role, with Donny van de Beek missing out yet again.

Finally, in attack, there are a few interesting decisions made. Firstly, Marcus Rashford is fit to start, meaning he takes his place on the left-wing. Anthony Martial, though, has been replaced by Edinson Cavani, who leads the line for Manchester United against Wolves, with Mason Greenwood coming in for Daniel James on the right flank.
