Wolverhampton Wanderers
Under pressure Manchester United are going into the match with Wolverhampton Wanderers knowing they can’t slip up at Old Trafford. At the start of the season the Red Devils could hardly imagine they would be sitting next to the Wanderers in the table with just one point separating them. They started the season well enough, beating Leicester City in the opening game, but have then fell to two defeats, by Brighton and Tottenham. In the last two games, they defeated Burnley and Watford but have failed to impress. The Wanderers started the season with two draws and a defeat, managing to hold Manchester City in the process. They improved in their next three games, recording two wins in the Premiership and one in the Carabao Cup. Scoring a goal will be a challenge in Manchester, but they will try and get a point out of the second Manchester team too.

Highlighted Player (Paul Pogba):
After spending four seasons at Juventus, Paul Pogba returned to Manchester United in the summer of 2016. The French midfielder signed a five-year deal with the Premier League giants for a world-record fee of €105 million. He set an all-time record for highest football transfer fee, surpassing Gareth Bale, the former record holder. However, he missed the 2016/2017 Premier League opener against Bournemouth through suspension. Pogba was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, France on 15 March, 1993 and he represents les Tricolores on the international stage. He won the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup with France, while making it to the Euro 2016 final with Didier Deschamps’ troops. However, they were beaten by Portugal in the title game at Stade de France. It has to be noted that Paul Pogba won four Serie A trophies with Juventus. He produced a fine display in the 2013/2014 Champions League final against Barcelona, but Juve suffered a 3-1 loss to Barca in the Olympiastadion Berlin clash. Pogba is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as an attacking and a defensive midfielder as well.
