Manchester United return to action against winless Wolves at Molineux. It\u2019s a game the Red Devils have to win.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the let downs at Old Trafford<\/a> against Everton and West Ham, Manchester United are looking for another victory away from home.<\/p>\n

In-between these two poor results, United won away at Crystal Palace<\/a>. And another away win is essential, against bottom of the league Wolves.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the clash at Molineux, here is our wishlist\u2026<\/p>\n

\"DiogoPhoto by Justin Setterfield\/Getty ImagesAn easy, comfortable three points<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> oversaw two defeats against Wolves last season, a 2-0 loss away from home<\/a> and a 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Since then Manchester United have improved moderately, while Wolves have regressed. This season they have no wins, and only two points.<\/p>\n

Of course it feels set up for United to become the first team to lose to Wolves this season. <\/p>\n

Our concerns do not prevent us hoping for a win, and a comfortable win too.<\/p>\n

The last win away at Wolves was a dramatic 4-3 victory<\/a>. But we need to do more than scrape a win away at this Wolves side.<\/p>\n

United need to win, convincingly. By two or three goals, and control the game. It\u2019s a lot to ask \u2013 but it is what is needed.<\/p>\n

Are you confident Man Utd will beat Wolves? <\/p>\n

A clean sheet<\/p>\n

Senne Lammens<\/a> has been excellent in goal for Manchester United since he came in to make his debut against Sunderland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lammens kept a clean sheet in that match \u2013 but since then he has not been able to keep another clean sheet, across the past seven successive games.<\/p>\n

Manchester United have not defended well enough, and we want to see some improvement here. Let\u2019s give Senne Lammens the clean sheet his performances deserve.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha recapture the magic<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha<\/a> has shown flashes of quality since signing for Manchester United, including an impressive goal in the home win over Brighton.<\/p>\n

Overall, it has been a pretty low-key start for Cunha at United, and he is getting anxious about his lack of production<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Cunha will be sparked into life by a return to his former club, in the stadium where he terrorised United last season.<\/p>\n

In Wolves\u2019 win over United at Molineux last season, Cunha scored one goal and delivered one assist.<\/p>\n

His form convinced United to spend \u00a362.5 million<\/a> on his signature, and it\u2019s time he began to start repaying that back.<\/p>\n

Will a return to Molineux spark Matheus Cunha\u2019s Manchester United career into life?\ud83d\udd25 <\/p>\n

Cunha also has 11 goal contributions in his last 12 Premier League appearances at Molineux\ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo to end goal drought<\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> is Manchester United\u2019s top scorer<\/a> this season with six goals to his name.<\/p>\n

However, Mbeumo has not scored over the past three games since the international break, and is finding life a little trickier without Benjamin Sesko<\/a> alongside him in attack.<\/p>\n

United have two more games before Mbeumo departs for the African Cup of Nations<\/a>. We need him to produce at his absolute top level before he goes.<\/p>\n

Does Ruben Amorim need to improve his use of the academy?\u2b50\ufe0f <\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim to use the academy<\/p>\n

Manchester United fans<\/a> have been left frustrated by Ruben Amorim\u2019s decisions<\/a> this season, particularly around his lack of usage of academy<\/a> players.<\/p>\n

Kobbie Mainoo<\/a>, once a matchwinner away to Wolves, is stuck as Amorim\u2019s fourth-choice midfielder, who did not even get off the bench against West Ham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United fans want to see Mainoo given game time, but the hopes do not end there.<\/p>\n

Amorim has included exciting winger Shea Lacey<\/a> on the substitutes bench in recent games, but has lacked the courage to bring him on for his debut.<\/p>\n

The perfect outcome at Molineux would be a comfortable win with a clean sheet, with Lacey coming off the bench for the final 15 minutes to start his first team journey.<\/p>\n
