For the first time since before Sir Alex left Manchester United, the club appears to have something approaching a ‘best’ XI.
At least, when everyone is fit, Manchester United have a pretty strong shout for a settled team.
But with Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo injured, Louis can’t play his very best side right now.
After a decent performance from Matteo Darmian at left-back against Sunderland the Italian should keep his place there, with Antonio Valencia offering running power on the right.
It’s any two from three in the terms of the midfield and we can assume that, having been benched at the weekend, Basti will start against Wolfsburg on Wednesday evening at Old Trafford.
We would go with Carrick alongside him as it’s the strongest pairing and United are desperate for three points.
Apart from that the team should have a familiar look.
But, having played so well in The Capital One Cup, we would like to see Mata rested – he’s playing well but needs a rest to keep him fresh after a lot of early season football – and Andreas Pereira start on the right.
The Brazilian youth international offers pace and creativity and needs some game time at this point.
So here is our best XI for Manchester United’s must win encounter against Wolfsburg on Wednesday night at Old Trafford (Kick Off 19:45 Local time).
Manchester United fans: let’s have your elevens
