Another three-game week will factor into his thinking, though, with more rotation expected in next Wednesday’s League Cup trip to Fleetwood Town before attentions turn back to the Championship campaign.
But who should get the nod against one of the division’s fancied sides? We’ve picked the XI we believe could give United the best chance of getting a result, with a blend of experience, energy and attacking threat.
There are places for some of the key performers from the opening weeks of the campaign, while the shape could get the best out of United’s players.
Scroll through our gallery below to see our predicted team and the thinking behind each selection - is this the XI you’d go with or would you go with something different?
5. Sam McCallum Player Ratings
Offers energy and balance down the left, while his ability to get forward could give United an extra outlet when they have possession. Just edges out Norrington-Davies who started on Tuesday | ugc
6. Joe Rothwell
Provides experience and control in the middle of the park. United will need him to help dictate the tempo and make sure they do not get overrun, with legs either side of him also helping | ugc
7. Sydie Peck
Deserves to continue after his goal and assist on a remarkable night at Blackburn. His energy and ability to cover ground will be vital in trying to disrupt Wolves’ midfield | ugc
8. Oliver Arblaster
The big midfield call. His energy, pressing and ability to get around the pitch could be important in a game where United will need to match Wolves physically. His ball-carrying ability can help United get up the pitch too | ugc
