‘Has to be in the first-team’ – some fans want Wolves youngster to play against Man Utd

Renat Dadashov scored for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ reserve-team in Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool and some fans believe he should be given an opportunity in the first-team against Manchester United on Saturday evening.

The 20-year-old joined Wolves from Estoril in August 2019 and was immediately loaned out to Paços Ferreira for the season. Dadashov’s stint back in Portugal was cut short before January, however, as he’d failed to score a single goal in seven Primeira Liga games.

But with the Azerbaijan international impressing upon his return to Wolves, Nuno Espirito Santo may have a lot to ponder. Raul Jimenez is expected to lead the line against United, but Patrick Cutrone’s loan move to Fiorentina leaves a void for another striker to fill.

Benny Ashley-Seal has been on the bench in recent weeks, but he looks set to join a League One side on loan before the transfer window shuts.

Leonardo Campana may be in contention of making the squad on Saturday after training with the first-team under Nuno’s watchful eye, but Dadashov hasn’t done his chances any harm.
