Mon Dec 08 19:10:00 UTC 2025: Manchester United Face Wolves with Mount Replacing Zirkzee in Starting Lineup

Wolverhampton, England – Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has announced his starting eleven to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in tonight’s Premier League clash at Molineux, kicking off at 20:00 GMT. The lineup sees Mason Mount replacing Joshua Zirkzee in the only change from the team that drew 1-1 with West Ham last Thursday.

While Matthijs de Ligt remains sidelined with injury, Diogo Dalot is deemed fit to play despite concerns after his goal-scoring performance against West Ham.

The Red Devils will line up with Senne Lammens in goal, protected by a back three of Noussair Mazraoui, Ayden Heaven, and Luke Shaw. Amad and Dalot will occupy the wing-back positions, with Casemiro and captain Bruno Fernandes anchoring the midfield. Mount will join Bryan Mbeumo in the “no.10” roles, supporting Matheus Cunha up front against his former club.

Lisandro Martinez and Academy forward Shea Lacey feature amongst the substitutes.

Manchester United Starting XI: Lammens; Mazraoui, Heaven, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes (c), Dalot; Mbeumo, Mount; Cunha.

Substitutes: Bayindir, Dorgu, Malacia, Martinez, Yoro, Mainoo, Ugarte, Lacey, Zirkzee.

Wolves have made two changes to their starting lineup following their 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Ki-Jana Hoever replaces Jackson Tchatchoua at right wing-back, while Ladislav Krejci comes in for the suspended Joao Gomes in midfield.

Wolves Starting XI: Johnstone; Mosquera, Agbadou, Toti (c); Hoever, Andre, Krejci, Wolfe; Bellegarde, Arias; Strand Larsen.

The match, broadcast live on Sky Sports, pits United against a Wolves side eager to bounce back from their recent defeat.
