Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the FA Cup clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Manchester United travel to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers - the side that knocked the Red Devils out of this competition at the quarter-final stage last season - in the FA Cup.

United were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal in their last outing, handing Gunners boss Mikel Arteta his first win as a head coach in the process.

The result leaves Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side five points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the cup clash.

The central defender has spent a substantial period on the sidelines and, despite being tipped to return around this time of year, it seems that his recovery may take a while longer.
