Wolves vs Man United: Match Preview, Latest Team News and How to Watch | OneFootball

Manchester United travel to Wolves in key Premier League encounter

Wolves return to Molineux seeking relief from a difficult Premier League campaign, one that has left Ruben Amorim searching for momentum and clarity. Confidence should come from facing the division’s bottom side, yet this season has taught Wolves that little arrives easily. Manchester United travel with their own inconsistencies, but the visitors possess enough firepower to shape a contest that feels pivotal for both teams.

Wolves Strive for Stability Under Amorim

Ruben Amorim has encountered early challenges since taking charge and the run of results has not yet reflected the work he is attempting to instil. Wolves remain without a league win and all three matches under Rob Edwards, prior to Amorim’s appointment, ended in defeat. With the team stuck at the foot of the table, the urgency is clear.

Joao Gomes compounds the difficulty after collecting his fifth booking of the season in the recent loss to Nottingham Forest. He joins Daniel Bentley, Rodrigo Gomes, Leon Chiwome and Fernando Lopez as absentees. Marshall Munetsi and Ladislav Krejci remain doubtful, limiting Amorim’s midfield options. If Matthijs de Ligt proves fit, he is expected to start after Ayden Heaven was withdrawn at half time against West Ham following an early caution. Leny Yoro is pushing for a recall and Matheus Cunha is likely to face his former club, injecting a narrative edge into the occasion.

Manchester United Seek Momentum

Manchester United’s form this season has veered from spirited to erratic, typified by their shock defeat to Grimsby. Injuries have unsettled their rhythm and both Benjamin Sesko and Harry Maguire look set to miss the trip to Molineux. Diogo Dalot should be available and there is optimism that United can piece together a more coherent performance despite recent frustrations.

Ruben Amorim has encouraged his side to rediscover control in midfield and precision in the final third. Matches against struggling teams have offered no guarantees, yet United’s quality on the counter remains a source of comfort for their supporters. With Wolves struggling to create meaningful chances, the visitors will feel the stage is set to impose themselves.

Match Details and How to Watch

Wolves vs Manchester United takes place at Molineux on Monday, December 8, 2025, with kick off scheduled for 8pm GMT.

Sky Sports will broadcast the match live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage beginning at 6.30pm GMT.

The atmosphere at Molineux often lifts Wolves, but the current run demands a resilience they have yet to demonstrate consistently. United know that anything less than victory will increase scrutiny, particularly with their away form drawing criticism earlier in the season.

Prediction and Key Factors

Manchester United’s season already includes a shock defeat to Grimsby, so another setback against the league’s bottom side would not be unprecedented. Yet Wolves continue to struggle in front of goal and have found victories beyond their reach for much of the campaign. With that in mind, the momentum and quality appear to favour the visitors, suggesting an away win is the most likely outcome, even if it may arrive without flair.

Manchester United to win, 2-0.

Wolves face a crossroads that requires discipline and creativity, while United arrive with intent to sharpen their league position. If Amorim’s side can disrupt the visitors’ rhythm and rediscover belief in the final third, Molineux may yet witness a stirring response. At present, though, the trends favour the visitors.
