Manchester United vs Wolves prediction 30.12.2025 | Premier League

Manchester United return to Old Trafford after a well-deserved home win against Newcastle last week. Patrick Dorgu's sensational volleyed strike secured a 1:0 victory for Ruben Amorim's much-maligned side.

After a strong run of form, United had gone off the boil in recent weeks, winning just two of eight previous Premier League fixtures. The Red Devils had won four of five previous league matches before their recent downturn in form. 

While consistency remains an issue, the hosts have improved this season. Amorim's men now sit sixth in the division, just three points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.

Head coach Amorim has a lengthy list of absentees this week. Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt miss out with injury issues while Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui are at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Wolves make the trip to Old Trafford after a valiant display in a 2:1 defeat at Premier League champions Liverpool last weekend. Santiago Bueno's second goal of the season proved consolation only as the Reds ran out narrow winners at Anfield.

A truly dismal campaign sees the Black and Golds still winless from 18 games played, with just two points registered. On the road, Wolves have lost all but one game, with a 1:1 draw at Tottenham their only positive away result this season.

Rob Edwards' side slipped to a 4:1 defeat when they hosted United at the start of December, and while they have shown some signs of improvement under the former Boro boss, they now find themselves 16 points short of safety.

Head coach Edwards has several players missing for Tuesday's Premier League contest. Marshall Munetsi, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Rodrigo Gomes, Toti Gomes, Daniel Bentley and Emmanuel Agbadou are all ruled out, while Yerson Mosquera and Hugo Bueno are doubtful and André is suspended.
