Team News

Wolves have injury concerns over midfielders Jamie O'Hara who is suffering from a groin strain and Nenad Milijas who has a calf problem.

Karl Henry is out and could return from a hamstring injury next weekend.

Manchester United will assess Phil Jones, who missed Thursday's Europa League defeat at Athletic Bilbao because of illness.

Paul Scholes was an unused substitute against the Basque side, and is likely to return to the starting line-up.

PRESS CONFERENCE

"The players have performed, they’ve gone out there and shown a great resilience and a great determination because they know they’ve got a chance of winning this league. They know they’ve got a great chance."

"It’s marvellous, it’s a testimony to the players’ resilience," said the United manager.

"As we all know, we’ve had more injuries than is normal for any team, in any situation. It’s unusual to have so many injuries.

"I thought everyone was fine. Jones was back, Smalling was coming back... and then Smalling got a head injury, Jones went down with flu, Anderson picked up a hamstring problem and Nani injured his ankle. Just when you think you’ve got them all back, something else happens. But this hasn't derailed the team. They've been brilliant.
