Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Wolves vs Man Utd in the Premier League on Sunday (kick-off 4pm).
Wolves have no new injury concerns ahead of Nuno Espirito Santo's final game in charge of the club against Manchester United this Sunday.
Nuno, who Wolves announced would be leaving by mutual consent after four years at the helm, will be without Raul Jimenez, with the Mexican set to target a playing comeback from the start of next season after a fractured skull.
Daniel Podence had groin surgery on Monday and it is hoped the winger will be fit for the start of next season, while Pedro Neto (knee) and full-back Jonny (knee) also remain on the sidelines.
Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial remain sidelined for the Premier League season finale at Molineux.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expects Maguire (ankle) to miss the Europa League final on Wednesday, with Martial (knee) also looking touch and go for the Gdansk clash against Villarreal.
Scott McTominay and Fred have overcome issues sustained in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Fulham, while Daniel James is available as Solskjaer plans to make a "few changes" with second place secure.
Manchester United have already qualified for the Champions League by virtue of their league position; they were confirmed as runners-up following Leicester's defeat at Chelsea.
They could have, in any case, qualified for the Champions League via the Europa League - United are in the final against Villarreal on May 26.

With a Europa League final on the horizon, the price around an away win here has taken a big walk in the market with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer likely to manage his squad accordingly. But perhaps what the money has failed to realise is that United's second string should be able to beat this current Wolves team without Pedro Neto, Raul Jimenez and Daniel Podence.
It's a Wolves attack that has not scored in its last two matches and one that has registered an average expected goals figure of just 0.74 per 90 minutes in their last five matches. It's the lowest figure in that period in the Premier League.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side will just want to see the back of this campaign and an away win with a clean sheet looks a smart play.
CORRECT SCORE PREDICTION: 0-2
BETTING ANGLE: Manchester United to win to nil (4/1 with Sky Bet)
