Wolverhampton Wanderers take on Manchester United on Monday night, as week two of the Premier League comes to an end. This will be Wolves first home game in the 2019/20 Premier League campaign.
Wolves played out a goalless draw against Leicester City in their opening game. On the other hand, Manchester United thrashed Chelsea by 4 goals to nil at Old Trafford.
Coming against a team they defeated at home twice last season, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men will be looking to make it three wins out of three games.
Wolverhampton are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League games at home (W2 D2). Manchester United are also winless in their last four away games in the Premier League (D1 L3).
As a manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lost all three of his games against Wolves in all competitions – two defeats with Manchester United last season, and one as a manager of Cardiff City in August 2014.
Anthony Martial will look to become the 53rd player to reach a half-century for the club in all competitions, if he scores on Monday night.
