Onana, Mount make Man United debuts, Cunha leads Wolves attack

Andre Onana and Mason Mount each start for Manchester United against Wolverhampton Wanderers in Monday's Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.

Goalkeeper Onana and midfielder Mount have been signed from Inter Milan and Chelsea respectively, it not being a surprise that they make their competitive debuts.

However, in the case of Mount, he features in an attack-minded central trio that also includes Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes as Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay are selected among the replacements.

Head coach Erik ten Hag gives the nod at right-back to Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Alejandro Garnacho plays on the left flank in a front three that also includes Antony and Marcus Rashford.

As for Wolves, Gary O'Neil has seemingly stuck with the 4-3-3 formation that was largely used by Julen Lopetegui in pre-season for what is his first game in charge.

Matheus Cunha gets the nod ahead of Fabio Silva in the final third, with the Brazilian supported by Pablo Sarabia and Pedro Neto.

In midfield, Matheus Nunes is selected alongside Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes, with Nelson Semedo and Rayan Ait-Nouri starting in the full-back areas.

Manchester United: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Fernandes, Casemiro, Mount; Antony, Rashford, Garnacho

Subs: Henderson, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Eriksen, McTominay, Pellistri, Martial, Sancho
