Bruno Fernandes debuts for Man United as Wolves visit Old Trafford

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has thrown Bruno Fernandes (£8.0m) straight into the Manchester United team for Gameweek 25.

The former Sporting midfielder signed for the club earlier this week and looks to be operating in the number 10 role this evening.

Fernandes will support Anthony Martial (£7.9m) from attacking midfield, where he will be flanked by Daniel James (£5.9m) and Juan Mata (£6.2m).

Meanwhile, there was less positive news for those invested in budget left-back Brandon Williams (£4.1m) drops to the bench, with Luke Shaw (£5.4m) handed the nod.

Meanwhile, Wolves are boosted by the return of Willy Boly (£4.7m) at centre-back.

He has been out injured since Gameweek 9 after suffering an ankle fracture, although was named as an unused substitute last time out.

Nuno Espirito Santo has elected not to drop his new signing in at the deep end, Daniel Podence (£5.5m) named on the bench.

That means Wolves front-three still features Diogo Jota (£6.1m) and Adama Traoré (£5.8m) either side of Raùl Jiménez (£7.6m).

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, A Pereira; James, B Fernandes, Mata; Martial.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez, Traoré.

    Thomas Knights: Anthony Martial has been worse than woeful today. Seems to need Rashford alongside him for him to put any effort. A lot lot lot more needed from him.

        This is why Martial will never be a good fantasy asset, will never ever reach his potential. His heart/head is just not in football imo

      It's such a worn out cliché thing to say that he lacks effort...he ran/tried as much as James.

      Trying to play it into his feet with boly all over his back is never going to work out..

    What should be the main focus with FTs over the coming weeks with WC and FH to go?

    Fielding 11 players in 28?
    How much should BG31 factor in?

    Mccarthy
    TAA O'connel Rico Aurier (Lundstram**)
    Salah KDB Martial Grealish Fleck

        Think he was decent, of course it's a bit early to judge but if he keeps on playing in that deep position, then it will be hard to consider him. Martial will still be the better option til.Rash is back imo.
