Anthony Martial is on the bench as expected for Manchester United's Premier League clash against Wolves today.

Martial's goal against Young Boys wasn’t enough to convince Jose Mourinho he deserves a place ahead of Alexis Sanchez - and that is bound to be a concern for the Frenchman.

With Marcus Rashford suspended, there was the potential to play him on the right, but Jesse Lingard gets the nod instead.

If Martial is seen as back up to Sanchez then it promises to be a frustrating season.

Antonio Valencia is back in for Diogo Dalot, who was so impressive against Young Boys, and Marouane Fellaini plays in place of the suspended Nemanja Matic.
