Manchester United Vs Wolves Preview

Tournament: Premier League

Date: Sunday, 20 April

Kick-off time: 13:00 GMT

Venue: Old Trafford

Manchester United are set to tussle with Wolves at the iconic Old Trafford on Sunday in round 33 of the Premier League action, aiming to finish the season strongly.

Manchester United have endured a lackluster season compared to their standard as they languish 14th in the table after 32 matches. The Red Devils have accumulated 38 points this season courtesy of 10 wins, 8 draws, and 14 losses. Their only way to secure European football next term is to win the Europa League.

The last three matches haven't been particularly good for them, having suffered two defeats against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest while playing a goalless draw in the Manchester Derby. Bruno Fernandes is currently their top scorer and assist provider with 8 goals and 9 assists, respectively.

Wolves, on the other hand, have performed brilliantly in the last five matches, securing four draws and drawing one. It is quite an improvement considering their form at the start of the season. They are languishing in 16th position in the table with 35 points, three points below their opponents on Sunday.

In the last match, they secured a huge 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur, painting further misery on their side. Matheus Cunha is their top scorer this season with 14 goals, and Rayan Ait Nouri provides the most assists with 6.

Manchester United Team News

Much of the struggles Red Devils have faced this season have been due to the number of injuries they suffered. The recent blow to Joshua Zirkzee, who is set to miss the remainder of the campaign, adds more misery to them. With this injury, they are also set to miss Amad Diallo, Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and Toby Collyer due to injuries. Just wonder if with these players, Ruben Amorim could have worked his magic here.

Wolves Team News

Similarly to United, Wolves also have their injury concerns. The list includes Enso Gonzalez, Leon Chiwome, Pedro Lima, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Yerson Mosquera. To make things worse, there are doubts over the fitness of Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Matt Doherty, who have some time to recover before this crucial clash.

Key players to watch in Manchester United Vs Wolves

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)

Bruno Fernandes has been one of the shining lights for them in an underwhelming campaign, producing the goals and assists for them with his wonderful technique and vision.

This season, he has already registered eight goals in the league while also providing the most assists with nine. In all competitions, he has 32 G/A contributions, which is among the best in Europe if you look at it. Here, no doubt, he will be crucial again to unlock the Wolves' defense.

Jorgen Strand Larsen (Wolves)

The Norwegian international is on red-hot form coming into this tie, having scored in each of his last three matches. This season, Larsen has registered 12 goals in the league while also providing two assists.

Known for his physique and blistering pace, he has proved to be an outstanding addition to the team after arriving from Celta Vigo in the summer. We are already hearing, Wolves are very much interested in securing his services for the next season, with the squad very much happy with him.

Manchester United Vs Wolves Prediction

Although Wolves have performed well in recent matches, we still believe Manchester United slight favourites for this clash, considering they are playing at home and with Bruno Fernandes in fine form. We can expect goals, thriller, and drama in this match, with the Red Devils securing a close victory here.

Predicted Score: Manchester United 3-2 Wolves
