Manchester United's Premier League clash against Wolves on Boxing Day promises to be an intriguing encounter. After a derby victory against Manchester City, United suffered two consecutive defeats against Tottenham and Bournemouth. Wolves, currently in the relegation zone, appointed Vitor Pereira as their new manager after sacking Gary O'Neil. Pereira's first game saw a 3-0 win against Leicester City. This preview highlights five key aspects to watch for in the Molineux showdown.
After beating Manchester City in the derby, United were brought back down to earth as they suffered two defeats in the space of four days against Tottenham and Bournemouth.
That's not suggesting Fernandes is responsible. Football is a funny game and it's likelier United conceding more from set-pieces after Amorim's appointment is just a coincidence, but it's an issue that needs to be addressed because opponents are suddenly targeting United in that area. Transfer audition for Cunha? Matheus Cunha has played for RB Leipzig, Hertha Berlin and Atletico Madrid, and he seems destined for a more ambitious club than Wolves. The Brazilian signed for Wolves on a permanent deal in the summer of 2023 after a six-month loan and has performed well in a struggling team.
Rashford absent again? Amorim was asked about Marcus Rashford in his press conference and said: "Yeah, it’s my decision. He wants to play, he’s trying. It’s my decision. Only my decision. Rashford has been absent from the last three squads and, with the January window around the corner, it's starting to feel like he might have played his last game for the club.
The 56-year-old has been asked about his fellow countryman Amorim and said: "We never played against each other because I am a lot older. I took a lot of time to arrive here because I made maybe bad steps in my career and missed opportunities to come sooner.
