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