Manchester United will look to continue with the ascent in the Premier League standings when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers. These two sides have had contrasting runs all season, with United approaching this game sixth in the standings and Wolves rock bottom. We have a prediction for the match below.
Manchester United beat Newcastle United in their last game, for their first win in three outings. It hasn’t been a very fruitful run in recent weeks for United, but they’ll appreciate having to face the league’s weakest side.
While Manchester United will consider three wins in nine outings a dismal run, Wolves would wish just for that. The visitors remain isolated at the bottom, being the only winless side so far in the league. Out of their 18 matches thus far, 16 ended in defeat, and they are left a massive 16 points adrift of safety. If Wolves still have survival dreams, they have to start bagging points now.

Manchester United - Wolves: Form Analysis
Manchester United arrested their recent decline with a hard-fought 1-0 win at home against Newcastle United. It was their first win in three outings, and they had also gone winless at home in the earlier three matches.
This good fortune was largely helped by the fact that Newcastle United have been poor travelers. Here comes another weak away side, and United will be looking to cash in as they make the dash towards the top four.
The Red Devils have lacked consistency but, at 29, are just three points below the top four. Having bagged 17 of their points at home will have United very confident.
Wolves won once in the last 18 matches in all competitions.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are having a miserable campaign once again. If at all they hope to pull another great escape, this is the time to start banking crucial points.
It will be even harder, as some of their standout players last season left for better pastures. Among them is Manchester United’s Matheus Cunha, who is enjoying good form at the moment.
Wolves are coming from a 2-1 defeat at Liverpool and will not get a breather with a trip to Old Trafford up next. The last time Wolves avoided defeat was in October, in a draw with Tottenham. That was at the height of a three-match unbeaten run. They come here on a 12-game losing run.

Manchester United & Wolves Squad Analysis
It may look like Wolves are running out of options in their personnel, but handing teenager Mateus Mane game time is proving worthwhile.
The forward got his first Premier League start against Liverpool and had four attempts. He also claimed an assist against Arsenal earlier in the month and will be ready if called upon here.
Injuries, suspension, and international duty will, however, deprive Wolves of at least nine players.
Bruno Fernandes is expected to return in late January.
This will be an emotional reunion for Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian had his best season in Europe at Wolves, with 23 goal involvements before decamping to United.
His one assist for United this season was against Wolves, and he’s on three goal contributions in Manchester United’s last four matches.
The Red Devils will once again be without their African duo of Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo. The two, who have been involved in 11 goals combined, are on international duty at AFCON.
The big miss, though, will be the injured Bruno Fernandes, who had 12 goal contributions.

Our Manchester United vs Wolves Prediction
In this game Manchester United will be looking to build on their tough win against Newcastle United. They have the better run coming here but will not forget Wolves won on their last visit to Old Trafford. Wolves have also never failed to score in their last four meetings with Manchester United.
Their battle for survival means they have very few options but to attack United, who haven't been the best defensively. Still, the hosts remain favorites here. Our prediction for Manchester United v Wolverhampton Wanderers is for Manchester United to win and BTTS.
Manchester United vs Wolves Alternative Predictions
Matheus Cunha to score or assist
Whether playing for United or Wolves, Matheus Cunha rarely misses among the goal contributors in this fixture. The Brazilian had an assist in his first match for Manchester United against Wolves.
Meanwhile, on Boxing Day last year, he had a goal and an assist in Wolves’ 2-0 win against the Red Devils. In the earlier meeting, Wolves lost 4-3, but he had an assist in one of the goals. With that, we are backing him for a goal or assist here.
