Man Utd wonderkid set to start vs Wolves after Mason Mount injury

Manchester United wonderkid Jack Fletcher is poised to start against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League tonight.

The Red Devils are presently three points behind the final Champions League spot and will be aiming to close the gap by beating Wolves.

Ahead of the encounter, they have suffered an untimely setback with Mason Mount ruled out due to a muscle injury sustained against Newcastle United.

Mount was replaced by Fletcher at the half-time interval on Boxing Day, and the 18-year-old is set to make his maiden start for the club.

Manager Ruben Amorim changed to a 4-2-3-1 formation against Newcastle last week. He is expected to continue with the same set-up.

Fletcher is poised to feature as the attacking midfielder for the Red Devils and has a big opportunity to impress the Portuguese tactician.

Amorim has said that the 18-year-old has done a 'very good job' in recent games. He has the chance to repay the manager's faith tonight.
