For the first time since 1989, United finds themselves in the bottom half of the table at this stage of the season. Let that sink in—this is a club synonymous with silverware and title races, now scrambling to save face.
The 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth wasn't just a loss; it was a wake-up call. The Cherries ran riot at Old Trafford, leaving fans questioning everything from the lineup to the tactics. For manager Erik ten Hag, the Wolves clash is a chance to steady the ship and avoid a festive season meltdown.
Meanwhile, the Wolves will fancy their chances of spoiling United's Boxing Day. They've been solid at home this season and are eyeing another big scalp to bolster their mid-table ambitions. Wolves' defense has been stingy, and their counterattacking prowess could pose problems for a United backline that has been anything but secure.
