The Premier League CLASH between Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 26th presents a critical juncture for both teams. Manchester United, currently positioned 13th in the league, is under pressure to secure points to avoid slipping further into the relegation battle. Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers, buoyed by a recent victory against Leicester City under new management, are eager to capitalize on their momentum. The match will be broadcast on USA Network and is available for streaming via FuboTV .
Early estimates - including from himself - that it would take Ruben Amorim time to put his stamp on things are ringing true, with games coming thick and fast and limited training time.
A trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers is on the calendar for Boxing Day, facing a struggling side that recently ended a run of four consecutive defeats with a statement win over Leicester City.
Wolves at home should give United a chance to return to winning ways, but nothing is a given with this team and they'll have to be at their best if they're to come away with three points on boxing day.
Amorim will be without Victor Lindeloff and Mason Mount who'll be out until the new year. Matthijs de Ligt could return after missing out vs. Bournemouth due to an illness. It'll be interesting to see if Marcus Rashford makes the squad for the first time in three games.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup: Jose Sa; Nelson Semedo, Bueno, Toti; R Gomes, J Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Guedes, Strand Larsen, Cunha
Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Amad, Hojlund, Fernandes

However, injuries to key players like Mason Mount and Luke Shaw may hinder their performance potential. Conversely, Wolverhampton's lineup is expected to adopt a 3-4-3 formation with Sa as goalkeeper and attacking options including Guedes and Cunha . The contrasting circumstances of each team—United’s struggles versus Wolves’ recent resurgence—add an intriguing layer of complexity to the matchup.
Predictions for this encounter lean towards a Manchester United victory despite their recent poor form; analysts suggest a possible scoreline of 2-0 in favor of the Red Devils . This prediction aligns with historical trends showing United's strong Boxing Day performances.
