Desperate Wolves look for first Premier League win against weary Manchester United

Wolves vs Manchester United will be a very interesting game because of how important it is for both teams to win in the Premier League in their current form.

Wolves are the only team yet to win a single game, taking just two points from 14 games so far this season. With Wolves desperate for a win this season, they will throw the proverbial kitchen sink at Manchester United and hope to get a big win at the expense of the Red Devils.

Ruben Amorim’s side recorded a tricky win in their last away game but have seen their momentum slip after their recent draw with West Ham United. They are keen to get back on winning ways and close in on the Premier League’s top four as they look to add another win away to struggling Wolves.

Interestingly, Wolves have won their last two games against Manchester United, although the Red Devils have won three of their last five Premier League games against Manchester United and will be keen to end their recent winless run against Wolves with a big win.

Can Jurgen Strand-Larsen rekindle his best form to trouble Manchester United?

Wolves have a pretty poor record against Manchester United, having lost their past five Premier League games and failing to score a single goal in that period. They clearly need someone’s source of inspiration to reignite their form and that could come from their dangerous forward Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Larsen has only scored one goal in the 2025/26 Premier League so far, which was in a 2-3 loss to Burnley, but his scoring ability cannot be diminished. The Norwegian striker will reinvigorate his teammates with his presence up front, trying to help link play and confuse defenders.

However, Larsen needs to be at his best and convert chances perfectly to help Wolves beat the Red Devils.

Matheus Cunha determined to dismantle former team as he returns to Molineux

After joining the Red Devils from Wolves in the summer window of 2025, Matheus Cunha will return to Molineux Stadium for Wolves’ game against Manchester United. Cunha remains a beloved figure among Wolves fans but will be set to torment his former club in the upcoming Premier League games.

Cunha has only scored one goal for the Red Devils in the 2025/26 Premier League season so far and is desperate for more. The Brazilian striker has an instinctive understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of most of his former Wolves team-mates and uses this knowledge to haunt them.

Cunha will need to move the ball forward intelligently and create big chances, but he will also be urged to shoot more and increase United’s goal threat as he looks to trouble his former club.
