RUBEN AMORIM has given a first start to academy defender Tyler Fredricson against Wolves.
The Manchester United manager makes five changes from the side that dramatically beat Lyon 5-4 on Thursday.

And the biggest one being the introduction of Fredricson in the backline – with the 20-year-old partner Victor Lindelof at centre-back.
Fredricson won the FA Youth Cup with United in 2022 and has played at Under-17 and U18 level for England.
But was named in United’s first-team squad this year – featuring on the bench twice this season.
Fredricson has been called up to United’s senior squad before, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the Europa League in 2022.
He has also come up with first-team stars like Kobbie Mainoo, posing together on Instagram.
Other snaps show Fredricson’s personal life including exotic holidays and fine dining – with one picture revealing his love for lobsters.
United needed last-gasp goals from Mainoo and Harry Maguire to see off Lyon in the Europa League quarter-final.
And Amorim warned there would be changes to his side that host Wolves at Old Trafford.

Leny Yoro and Maguire drop out for Lindelof and Fredricson with Harry Amass also given a start.
Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot also make way with Christian Eriksen and Mainoo also coming in.
Ayden Heaven is another to have impressed Amorim as he hinted at starting youngsters against Wolves.
He said: “I think it is not the best moment or the best season to put some kids to play, because, again, they need a strong base to really show what they can do.
“But in this moment we need to do it and sometimes you have surprises.
“Ayden just played and I can be honest, we did it because we had injuries in that moment.
“But today, I think Ayden is my player so when he is ready and facing the competition in the team, he is ready to play. So you don’t know.
“Amass did really well. Chido, when he played, he played quite well. It is a difficult moment, it is not the right moment for the kids to play, but if we have to do it then we will do it.”
