MATCH PREVIEW
Manchester United after being treated as a 2nd division side by visiting bournemouth last weekend, they now look to bounce back by winning against relegation battlers wolves who have just one win in their last 5 matches.
The Red Devils have shown promising signs under their new coach amorin but their inconsistency drag them down mainly their defence which needs improvement to get any favours out of a match.
After conceding four goals against spurs in their exit from EFL cup they should have made amends and improved in their defence but once again they were put aside by attack loving Cherries.
This match might be the oppurtunity united looking for to return to the winning ways as they have won 7 of their last 8 premier league games against wolves.
Manchester United can draw some confidence from their history on Boxing Day as they are the team with the most wins and most goals scored on Boxing Day fixtures in English football history.
As for Wolves they are just two points shy of dropping out of relegation zone, they currently sit at 18th position with 12 points from 17 games played so they have no chance of dropping points against inconsistent united as their upcoming matches are no piece of cake.
