Wolves vs Manchester United prediction
United have lost to Grimsby this season, so defeat at the hands of the side that currently prop up the Premier League table is not entirely out of the question.
However, Wolves can’t seem to buy a goal at the moment, let alone a victory, and we can’t see that changing as all signs points towards an away win – even if it may not be quite as convincing as Amorim would like.
Manchester United to win, 2-0.
