Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim hints at squad variation after European game
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has hinted that he will rotate some of his players after his team’s midweek heroism in Europe.
It was confirmed earlier this week that Joshua Zirkzee will miss the rest of the season, but Victor Lindelöf and Noussair Mazraoui are expected back after both had personal commitments in midweek.
Wolves are considering Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Matt Doherty, who were injured in the win over Tottenham in the previous game, while Hwang Hee-chan is also a doubt.
Wanderers have used an identical starting eleven in the last five games.
