Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up for Saturday's FA Cup third-round showdown with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, with Paul Pogba injured.

Manchester United's quest for a record-equalling 13th FA Cup crown begins at Molineux on Saturday as they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the third round.

The Red Devils were knocked out of this competition at the quarter-final stage away to Wolves last season - one of three winless visits to Molineux within the last 10 months.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side also come into this match off the back of a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on New Year's Day, although they have not lost successive games so far this term.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how United could line up for the contest.

The Paul Pogba saga continues to rumble on at United, with the midfielder seemingly either being linked with a move away from the club or ruled out through injury on a daily basis at the moment.

The latest injury issue means that Pogba will require surgery on his ankle - a problem which has already limited him to just two substitute appearances since September and will now keep him out for up to a month longer.

Pogba's injury leaves United slightly short in midfield with Scott McTominay also sidelined with a knee issue, so the improving Fred and Nemanja Matic could start again.

There are likely to be changes elsewhere given the trend for resting players in cup games, though, with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and David de Gea all prime candidates to sit out.

Mason Greenwood will be hopeful of another chance to show what he can do from the start, while there could be rare appearances for the likes of Phil Jones, Sergio Romero and Juan Mata.

United could also be boosted by returns for defensive trio Eric Bailly, Marcos Rojo and Timothy Fosu-Mensah, with the FA Cup giving a natural opportunity for some much-needed game time, even if it is unlikely to be from the start.
