U21 preview | Man United vs Wolves

Wolves under-21s travel to Manchester United on the back of their first PL2 victory since August.

Please note, due to Premier League broadcasting restrictions, Saturday’s Premier League 2 Division 1 fixture with Manchester United will not be live streamed.

Ian Sharps’ team brushed aside Tottenham Hotspur last Saturday, scoring four first-half goals to effectively put the game to bed before the interval.

That third victory of the PL2 season lifted the old gold up to eighth following a five-game winless run in the competition.

In midweek, the Wolves youngsters were unfortunate to go down 2-0 at Port Vale in the Papa John’s Trophy after two goals inside the final 10 minutes for the League One outfit.

However, Wolves were more than a match for much of the game against their senior opponents at Vale Park, having already secured qualification from the group stage and into the knockout phase.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are yet to pick up three points in the league so far this campaign. The Red Devils have only lost three of their nine games, but have drawn six – the most in the division.

Mark Dempsey’s side were involved in a six-goal thriller last Saturday at Chelsea, scoring twice in added time to salvage a point thanks to a Shola Shoretire double.
