Wolves vs Manchester United Predictions

Manchester United are heavily favoured and should secure a comfortable win against a struggling Wolves side. The hosts have lost seven in a row, and their confidence is at rock bottom. United’s superior firepower and form should prove too much, leading to a relatively one-sided affair. Given Man United’s strong form and superior squad depth compared to Wolves’ recent struggles and lack of confidence, a comfortable victory for Manchester United is likely

Team News:

• Wolves face several absences for this match. Hugo Bueno and Fer Lopez are doubtful with back and groin issues. Daniel Bentley and Ladislav Krejci remain out until mid-December, while Rodrigo Gomes is sidelined until early February. Joao Gomes is also unavailable due to suspension, reducing Wolves’ depth across the pitch.
• Manchester United will be without key names for this match. Harry Maguire is sidelined until mid-December, while Benjamin Sesko remains out with a knee injury until late December. Matthijs de Ligt is doubtful after a knock, leaving United short of defensive options and attacking depth heading into the trip to Molineux.

Player(s) to watch:

• Marshall Munetsi will be the key player to watch for Wolves in this match. He leads the team in both scoring and assists, with one goal and one assist in 13 Premier League appearances this season. His work rate, ball-winning ability, and forward surges make him Wolves’ most reliable threat right now.
• Bryan Mbeumo will be the main threat for Manchester United in this match. He leads the team’s scoring chart with five goals in 14 Premier League appearances this season. His movement, smart positioning, and ability to punish defensive gaps make him United’s most dangerous attacking outlet heading into this fixture.
