Reinvigorated Manchester United Look To Bolster Old Trafford Form Against Struggling Wolves
The Manchester United vs Wolves clash is basically between two sides at different spectrums of the 2025/26 Premier League table, with Manchester United working to move into the top four and Wolves still hoping to get out of the relegation zone. Both sets of players will be motivated to at least end their year with a triumphant performance to bring some joy to the fans and bolster their momentum levels heading into 2026.
Manchester United are looking to get their second straight win in the Premier League after their gritty win over Newcastle United on Boxing Day. They will be looking to maintain a sturdy defensive nature to keep another clean sheet, but the priority will be towards playing clinical attacking football to blow over this shaky Wolves side.
The visitors, however, will need to be brave in executing their counterattacks perfectly to shock Manchester United. The Red Devils have lost two of their last three meetings against Wolves, but after defeating them at the Molineux Stadium recently, Ruben Amorim will urge his side to produce an efficient display against the visitors.
Lively Matheus Cunha Eager for Another Bright Display Against His Former Side
Matheus Cunha needs to be the maverick for this Manchester United side in the absence of Bruno Fernandes, who picked up an injury in the recent game against Aston Villa. Cunha will be eager to maintain his impressive form after having been able to score two goals in his last three appearances for the Red Devils, galvanising their frontline.
Cunha produced a pretty good performance in the Red Devils’ recent match against Wolves, grabbing an assist in Manchester United’s 4-1 win at the Molineux. The Brazilian ace will be looking to maintain his encouraging form with another stellar display against Wolves, as he aims to get in the right areas to finish off chances clinically and also create big chances with his innovative final third passes.

Can Hwang Hee-Chan Rediscover His Best Form To Elevate Wolves at Old Trafford?
Wolves are in dire need of some inspiration from their forwards for them to be able to have a chance of winning these difficult away games. They do have a promising forward in Hwang Hee-chan, who has only managed to score one goal in the Premier League so far in the 2025/26 season. However, the 29-year-old is capable of producing some impressive performances against prominent opposition and aims to prove that against the Red Devils.
Hee-Chan will be looking to use his rapid pace and running ability to carry the ball forward on the transitions, as he looks to create chances by nailing better passes to the final third. He will also aim to drift into more danger zones inside the area, and needs to be particularly ruthless with his finishing to be able to guide his side to a positive result from Old Trafford.
