Manchester United have a prime opportunity to extend their unbeaten Premier League away run to five games when they battle basement boys Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.
The Red Devils have taken
eight points from their last 12 on offer on the road, six more than their miserable Molineux hosts have managed all season long.
The Red Devils’ derisory home exploits have not translated into atrocious away days, as Man Utd have conquered Liverpool and Crystal Palace while holding Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur to draws during a positive stretch of road form.
Furthermore, Monday’s visitors have only ever suffered eight Premier League losses against the club starting the day at the bottom of the table, although two of those defeats did come to Wolves, most recently in 2011.
Man Utd’s cause against West Ham was not helped by an unexpected injury to defensive rock Matthijs de Ligt ahead of kickoff, but Amorim is optimistic that the Dutchman will be able to face Edwards’s team here.
Dalot is also expected to be given the all-clear despite appearing to suffer a blow on Thursday night, but Harry Maguire (thigh) and Benjamin Sesko (knee) will not return until later this month.
Making his comeback from a head injury in the showdown with West Ham, Matheus Cunha reunites with the team he registered 21 Premier League goal involvements for last season – he still has just the one to his name in a Red Devils kit.
