Manchester United will be looking to move back into the top four places when they take on Wolves at Molineux in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds go into the game on the back of a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night whilst the hosts ran out 2-1 winners over Everton at Goodison Park.

Duo Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are both likely to start again against Wolves after both scored midweek whilst Alejandro Garnacho could also be be handed a start.

It has been a happy Christmas so far for Manchester United.

Beating Burnley in the League Cup followed by victory over Nottingham Forest midweek has made it a perfect start for the Reds after returning from the World Cup. In facing Wolves on Saturday, it provides United another chance to keep the winning momentum going.

Wolves have endured a poor season thus far and currently find themselves lingering in the relegation zone in 18th place. The hosts do not look like themselves this season and this is without a doubt a game Ten Hag will fancy his chances of taking all three points from. Wolves are no mugs particularly at Molineux but given United’s impressive form and with Rashford, Martial and co all in fine goal scoring form you feel pretty confident going into this one.

It wont be easy and Wolves will look to make like difficult for United but despite that if United turn up and play like we have been doing of late then we should have far too much for Wolves and take all three points.

Prediction: Wolves 0-2 Manchester United
