Analysis of the match between Manchester United and Wolverhampton
Within less than a month, Manchester United and Wolves will meet for the second time in the Premier League. In their clash on December 9, United delivered an emphatic performance away at Molineux, cruising to a 4-1 victory thanks to a brace from Bruno Fernandes and goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount.
Following that win, the Red Devils went through a brief dip, dropping points in consecutive matches with a 4-4 draw against Bournemouth and a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, before edging past Newcastle 1-0 on Boxing Day. That victory lifted United to 29 points, moving them up to sixth place, just three points behind fourth-placed Liverpool, and boosted confidence ahead of their final match of 2025.
Hosting Wolves at Old Trafford, Manchester United are considered clear favorites. However, it is worth noting that all three scorers from the first meeting will be absent this time. Head coach Ruben Amorim is facing selection headaches due to numerous missing key players, making a comfortable win far from guaranteed.
As for Wolves, they are on course to become one of the worst teams in Premier League history, having failed to win any of their 18 matches so far. With only two points, Rob Edwards’ side sit a staggering 16 points adrift of safety and appear destined for relegation. Wolves travel to Old Trafford on a run of 12 straight defeats, but recent narrow losses to Arsenal and Liverpool (both 1-2) have shown signs of renewed determination. If they maintain that spirit, United could face a tricky challenge.
