Wolves boss Lopetegui reveals plans to experiment for Man Utd trip

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui admits he plans to experiment for their trip to Manchester United on Sunday.

Wolves confirmed their Premier League status with victory over Aston Villa last weekend.

Lopetegui said, “I think that they are very good team. A top team with top players, a good coach, with a very clear idea the way to play. They are fighting in a very good position to be in the next Champions League. In the Premier League, this is a very difficult achievement, that's why they are a very top team. Above all, they play at Old Trafford.

“We are aware the kind of match we are going to have. We have to be ready to compete with them. We have closed our achievement, but we have ambition to go there to play well and compete with them. If not, you've lost, if you're not ready to compete and they're going to roll over you.

"We have ambition and we are going to try to see more players and all of them have to be ready. After, of course, we are going to put our best. We are playing against teams fighting for different aims, for the Champions League, the Premier League or relegation. We have to be honest, be professional, of course. We are going to play at Old Trafford, it's the most important reason to be ready to go there with our best Sunday clothes.

“It's better to have this situation. We didn't want to go to the last match without knowing our future. It's going to be important and we are going to try to take advantage of this situation."
