Manchester United’s quest to bounce back from successive defeats in the last week will not be an easy one as the Red Devils take on Wolves at Molineux in one of the Premier League’s Boxing Day line-up.
Match Odds
The Red Devils are favourites for this one according to Bookmakers, but Punters could be fairly confident of getting a good return with odds of 4.60 for a Wolves win or 4.10 for a draw in this match.
Betting Tip
The 3-0 loss at home to Bournemouth last time out ended a run of four straight matches of scoring two or more goals for United.
Wolves on their part ended a run of four straight losses and three straight matches of failing to score more than a goal when they beat Leicester City 3-0 in Vitor Pereira’s managerial debut.
That’s why we have our money on both teams to score for this one.

Team News
Pereira faces a first stern test in his early days as Wolves boss and will be happy to have full-back, Rayan Ait-Nouri, back from suspension. Midfielder, Mario Lemina, is available for selection as well although Pereira may choose to not risk him having just recovered from injury.
United boss, Ruben Amorim, looks set to rotate his starting XI to cater with the tight schedule. Still it is unlikely Marcus Rashford will make the squad as Amorim has stated it is his decision to leave him out of the squad until he improves.
Meanwhile, Matthijs de Ligt could return to the squad after missing the losses to Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth in the League Cup and Premier League respectively due to illness.
