Counter attacking fury
This MNF has Wolves hosting Manchester United Molineux. Last season Wanderers won both matches against United. Now we see United going into this tie full of confidence having seen off Chelsea 4-0.
Time to be taken seriously
Wolves exceeded all expectations last season, finishing in a cool 7th place last season, only 9 points short of United. That solid performance in the league eventually allowed them a chance to qualify for the Europa League, and have since seen off Crusaders and FC Pyunik Yerevan with Torino on the way.
Wolves have consistently given their opponents a tough time
The Wanderers enjoyed a strong preseason beating both Manchester City and Newcastle. They started their PL campaign with a draw away to Leicester after a late VAR decision went against Leander Dendoncker.
Playing on the front foot
Wolves have consistently given their opponents a tough time of it after Portugese Nuno Espirito Santo took over. The biggest problem last year wasn’t their performances, but on the other hand was their sloppiness at getting the job done.
Tactically, Espirito Santo has implemented a fast flowing, attacking philosophy for his football. They’re strong on the counter and at switching play. Ruben Neves performs solidly in being the link up between defence and attack.
They normally line up with a fluid form of 3-5-2 but can even switch it up to a 5-3-2 when attempting for a more defensive line. 3-4-3 is a possibility when Wolves want to all out attack.
A new lease of life at United
United finished last season terribly but are seeking to make a fresh start. Six straight wins in preseason and in their opening game against Chelsea are showing a lot more positive this side of summer.
It'll be a match full of activity, optimism and hopefully, goals
In the first half against Chelsea they looked a little lost, failing to create many chances and conceding dominance over possession. The second half was a completely different prospect, with United winning key 50/50s and getting on the front foot.
United’s new boys Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire look to have settled into life in Manchester already. Maguire was even given man of the match against Chelsea.
Wolves - Manchester United Betting Tip
If Solskjær seeks to play it right, United can really go on to do well this season with their bold attacking philosophy. At the same time Wolves will seek to counter every lost ball swiftly. It'll be a match full of activity, optimism and hopefully, goals.
