Man United and Wolves go at it once again in the FA Cup third-round replay this time at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
The first match ended in a 0-0 draw where both sides failed to make any sort of significant impact during the game but both the managers would be hoping that things pan out a bit differently this time around.
Man United players Eric Bailly and Tim Fosu-Mensah made their comebacks in the Under-23s’ victory against Newcastle United on Friday and there have been reports that the duo could return to action against Wolves.
As for Santo, the Wolves manager has only two injury concerns going into this match and it is more or less certain that they will not play any part.
Here’s what the two managers had to say during their press conference for the FA Cup clash.
Man United team news:
“We’ll probably have a similar squad to what we had at the weekend against Norwich,” Ole told MUTV as quoted by the club’s official website.
“Eric is playing today, behind closed doors, so he’s very close to full fitness, but it’s still a few days early this one.”
This means that Lindelof and Harry Maguire will once again play in central defence since Marcos Rojo is also ruled out.
Wolves team news:
“It’s going to be the same squad as the previous game,” Nuno told reporters.
“Diogo had a scan yesterday and next week I think he’ll progress on the pitch. He can start his healing process, he’s doing OK so hopefully, he can start with us next week. It’s important, the same as Boly, important, of course.”
Solskjaer will be hoping that his players can wrap up this FA Cup match quickly so that he can make a few changes in order to rest his players for the Liverpool game scheduled for the upcoming weekend.
Wolves also face a similar problem since they take on Southampton on Saturday and the Saints have not tasted defeat in their past five league matches – winning four of them.
