Alexis Sanchez will start in place of Anthony Martial for Manchester United against Wolves on Saturday, manager Jose Mourinho confirmed.
Martial scored in United's 3-0 win over Young Boys in the Champions League on Wednesday, but the France international will have to settle for a place on the bench against Wolves.
Mourinho confirmed Sanchez – left on the bench in Bern and without a goal in four games this season – would return on Saturday.
"Sanchez plays tomorrow," the Portuguese tactician told UK newspapers on Friday.
"Because Martial played 90 minutes [against Young Boys] and Sanchez played zero."
United have claimed three straight wins after a slow start to the season, but still sit eighth in the Premier League.
