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.

    Triple attackers in this game is an anticlimax

    My last chance if a decent score is a Doherty goal and clean sheet. Is that too much to ask??

      Hell, I’d accept an assist and subbed off at 70 mins

    For anyone not watching the Spanish La Liga, Courtois is at the moment the best goalkeeper in the world. Yes, better than Alisson, albeit its close.

        He was god damn awful. I remember dreading every shot and wishing for Navas.

        But suddenly it clicked and he's been nothing short of a wall.

    Why would you not own this guy? Or think he's 2nd best to Pickford lol

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      2nd best to Pickford? Pickford? Come again?

    2. diesel001

      He is 2nd best behind Pickford, IMO.

      Pickford is prone to the odd howler, but he has shown an ability to concentrate when he hasn't been in action in a game.

      Henderson plays in a much more defensive team and is 'in the game' a lot more. Same as Pope, Ryan, Fabianski etc. Best GKs are ones who make the saves when they aren't 'in the game'.

        True but he rarely makes saves tbh. Some of his saves this year have been unreal and been extremely consistent. Much more vocal and confident aswell imo

    Why? Why am I unable to sign a new striker who'll score immediately after getting into my team? They always need 2 or 3 games to get into it.

        VVD is going to have one or two of those 15pts+ weeks before the season is over.

      Would this -8 be madness?

      Vardy, Mane, Lundstram & Guaita OUT
      Aguero (C), Son, Stevens & McCarthy IN

      A) Go for it
      B) Not worth it

      Oh and will be priced out of this tomorrow when Mane drops..

      1. Big Al Stankovic
