The Red Devils have the most Boxing Day wins in Premier League history

Manchester United will travel to Wolverhampton to face off against the Wolves in a Boxing Day showdown. The Red Devils have experienced a roller coaster ride under new manager Ruben Amorim. It’s been a tale of coming out all guns blazing and then being torn to shreds for the Red Devils. United come into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats across all competitions, including a 3-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth last weekend. The pressure will be on Ruben Amorim to turn things around.

Wolves on the other hand finally brought an end to their disastrous run of form with a 0-3 win away to Leicester City last week. The hosts occupy one of the relegation spots and are fighting for survival. With just one win and one draw in eight outings at home, Wolves have been highly inconsistent at hope and have allowed the other teams to breach their fortress. Despite securing a win in their last game it remains to seen if they can turn their fortunes around.

Players to watch 

Matheus Cunha (Wolves)

The São Paulo born forward has been an unstoppable force for Wolves this season. He is the Premier League’s fourth-highest goalscorer with nine strikes to his name. Cunha has been in fine form and has stepped up big-time for the Wolves. His consistency coupled with his dynamic style of play makes him a standout performer. He scored a match-winning goal in the last game to bring an end to his side’s winless run.

Amad Diallo has been one of the most impressive players for Man United this season. He has established himself as an undisputed starter and an impactful player under Ruben Amlrim. His pace combined with his technical abilities and understanding of the game makes him a huge future prospect for United.
