Wolverhampton Wanderers are winless in their last 10 trips to Old Trafford, across all competitions. Will Wednesday night be the day that they finally break the hex and beat Manchester United?
Or will this will be one of the games in which Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men play up to their abilities and potential- which we’ve seen on numerous occasions this campaign, just not consistently? The FA Cup presents itself as the best opportunity for United to win a trophy this season (arguably, as the odds makers believe the Europa League is more favorable), so OGS should field a strong side for this one.
