Manchester United face Wolves in their next Premier League clash on Saturday. They would be aiming to gather a win in order to stay in the top four of the League standings.
The club’s first season under Erik ten Hag has been rather successful thus far, but they are currently under pressure from their bitter rivals Liverpool.
Their chances of making the Champions League have been slightly affected as a result of two consecutive losses, and with Jurgen Klopp’s team in such excellent form, anything less than a victory would be a serious issue.
On the other side, Wolves won’t have to worry about relegation for the remainder of the season.

Manchester United vs Wolves: Our Prediction:
Despite recent road struggles, Manchester United is still a formidable force at home and will be confident of defeating Wolves on Saturday at Old Trafford.
The visitors are relieved to have guaranteed their top-flight position for the upcoming season because there is not much left to play for.
It’s difficult to see past a victory for the home team in this match. Given their previous dismal performance, Ten Hag will be expecting a response from his team.
It will be the perfect time for them to continue to winning ways and maintain their hold on fourth place.
United has the opportunity to move up to third if Newcastle loses against Arsenal, and we anticipate that they will easily defeat their opponents this weekend to move one step closer to earning Champions League qualifying for the upcoming season.
This weekend, we’re betting on Manchester United to secure a very easy 2-0 victory and players like Rashford and Bruno Fernandes could be on the scoresheet against the Wolves.
