Player(s) to watch:
- Matheus Cunha has been an unstoppable force for Wolves this season. He is the Premier League’s fourth-highest goalscorer with nine strikes to his name. Cunha has been in fine form and has stepped up big-time for the Wolves. His consistency coupled with his dynamic style of play makes him a standout performer. He scored a match-winning goal in the last game to bring an end to his side’s winless run.
- Amad Diallo has been one of the most impressive players for Man United this season. He has established himself as an undisputed starter and an impactful player under Ruben Amorim. His pace combined with his technical abilities and understanding of the game makes him a huge prospect for United. Diallo has ten goal contributions in his last eleven outings for the Red Devils. Expect him to be on the scoresheet in the game against the Wolves.
