Wolves vs Man United
Wolves will host Man United in a Premier League showdown on Boxing Day. Both teams have struggled this season and will be hoping to a strong second half of the game. Check out our match preview for the game, which can be seen live on Amazon Prime Video.
Matheus Cunha Anytime Scorer (5/2 with BetMGM)
Matheus Cunha has been involved in nine goals in his last nine top-flight matches, scoring six and assisting three. Overall he’s had a hand in 20 goals in 2024 (15 goals, 5 assists), the second most by a Wolves player in a single calendar year in the Premier League after Raul Jimenez (24 in 2019).
Wolves to Win & BTTS (Sky Bet 13/2 Boosted Price)
Wolves are unbeaten in their last seven Boxing Day league games (W5 D2), and I believe they can upset the odds here. After their 3-0 win last week and with fresh optimism under a new boss, I believe the Wolves faithful will be as loud as ever after a few Boxing Day beverages, and they can act as the 12th man here.
United have looked incredibly poor in at times in their last two outings. The first came against Spurs in the League Cup where they did come back and make it 4-3, however the 3-0 loss at home to Bournemouth was incredibly damning. Put simply, Wolves look too big a price.

How both teams go into Wolves vs Man United
Wolves had a disappointing start to the season, securing only two wins in their opening 16 matches, ultimately leading to the sacking of manager Gary O’Neil. One significant issue has been their defensive performance; they have conceded 40 goals, the most in England’s top division. However, Vito Pereira has now been placed in charge of the team, and he will have been delighted with the 3-0 scoreline at Leicester last weekend, which left his side two points from safety.
On the other hand, Manchester United, who have also made a managerial change this season, have scored fewer goals than Wolves. Although they achieved a crucial 2-1 victory over their city rivals Manchester City on matchday 16, they still find themselves in 13th place. Amorim’s men were humiliated at home to Bournemouth last weekend when spanked 3-0 and he will be expecting much more from his side here.
Wolves team news
Yerson Mosquera, Enso González, and Sasa Kalajdzic are ruled out until the new year. However, there’s some good news with Rayan Ait-Nouri returning from suspension, while Boubacar Traore could also be available following a recent knee injury.
Man United team news
Mason Mount is currently being assessed, with no return date after sustaining an injury against Manchester City. The same applies to Luke Shaw, who recently experienced a small setback.
Wolves vs Man United head-to-head
Man United will be seeking a fifth successive win over Wolves, who they have beaten seven times across their previous eight meetings in the Premier League.
