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.

      He'll thrive in the #10 role once Mctominay is back.

      It's frustrating as hell.

      The best position for a creative player is high in the half space.

      Idk about Fernandes's strengths but I noticed when James has the ball, Martial doesn't know how to get open. He's got to be THE worst center forward in the league, meanwhile he thinks he's the best player in the league and in a constant state of sulk.

        Martial is fantastic with the ball at his feet. His work off the ball is crap though.

        "When you play a match, it is statistically proven that players actually have the ball 3 minutes on average … So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not have the ball. That is what determines wether you’re a good player or not." - Cruyff

          One of the Glazers, I forgot which one, absolutely swears by Martial though, and refuses to let the club sell him.

          Jose wanted him gone.

          Martial has his moments but he's been massively overhyped by United fanboys even though he's awfully inconsistent having been starting regularly in the United team for past 3-4 years. I think he has an attitude problem. Jose knew what he was doing.
