Manchester United vs Wolves: TV channel, live stream, team news, and prediction

Next January comes the clash between 2 teams that are desperate to win: Manchester United vs Wolves, and here you can find out how to watchit on TV and live stream, the news of both teams, and the score prediction.

But first, a bit of context: despite the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the team where his legend began, the player has not been able to be decisive and bring about a change at the club led by Ralf Rangnick.

Despite the return of CR7, the club is only in seventh place in the overall Premier League table, two points behind arch-rivals Manchester City. 

With such a gap between the two teams, the Red Devils need to win their next game to close the gap on the Citizens. 

On the other side, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC with Raul Jimenez will be looking to stop CR7 and get the necessary points to move out of eighth place in the overall standings. 

Wolves have lost two of their last four games, drawn one, and won only one, so they desperately need to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. 

Will they manage to emerge triumphant from the theater of dreams?

The Red Devils have yet to find the winning way they had hoped for with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo. 

In fact, in their last match against Newcastle, they could only manage a draw through Edinson Cavani, which was enough to leave the score 1-1. 

The Uruguayan's goal came in the 71st minute, just in time to pull the rug out of the fire, because Newcastle's goal came from the 7th minute, courtesy of Allan-Saint Maximin.

Thus, the Old Trafford team barely managed to stay in seventh place in the general table, so they have to give everything in their first match of the year against Wolves. 

And to add to the perfect storm facing Cristiano Ronaldo's side, Anthony Martial has asked the board to leave the club. 

But the problem is that no team has shown any interest in the French striker, who has been relegated to the likes of Edinson Cavani, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

All this seems to play in favor of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.

On the other hand, the Wolves must face the powerful Arsenal this Tuesday, December 28 in their last match of the year, as they look to move out of eighth place in the table, one below their next opponent.

In the tournament, Arsenal is coming off a 5-0 win over Norwich while Wolverhampton Wanderers is coming off a 0-0 draw against Chelsea.

Arsenal has 35 points in the standings, while Wolverhampton Wanderers has 25 points.

Everything seems to indicate that now more than ever the Wolves are depending on Raul Jimenez's goalscoring instinct, who due to his low performance and lack of goals, has even been devalued in the market. 

Score prediction

The score will most likely end 1-0 in favor of Manchester United, who have shown dominance over Wolves in their most recent matches. 

The last time Wolverhampton Wanderers managed to score a goal against the Red Devils was on Monday, August 19, 2019, when they managed to draw 1-1 with the Old Trafford side.

Will Raul Jimenez weigh-in in their next clash, or will Cristiano Ronaldo be the one to emerge triumphantly?
