Manchester United welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Old Trafford on Tuesday night for their final Premier League fixture of 2025, with both sides aiming to end the calendar year on a positive note.

Form guide and what's at stake
United approach this fixture buoyed by their Boxing Day victory over Newcastle United. Their recent form, comprising two draws, one loss, and that win, sees them sitting sixth in the table, level on points with Chelsea.
A victory for manager Ruben Amorim's side could lift them as high as fourth place, leapfrogging Liverpool, provided they secure a single-goal margin. This potential ascent would be temporary, pending Liverpool's own result against Leeds United on New Year's Day.
In stark contrast, Wolves travel to Manchester rooted to the bottom of the Premier League. They have managed just two points from 18 games and are mired in an 11-match losing streak, including a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool last Saturday.
Even a remarkable win at Old Trafford would not lift them off 20th place, though it would cut the gap to safety to 13 points.
Team news and injury concerns
Manchester United face significant selection headaches due to a combination of injuries and international duty. The club has been hit by the Africa Cup of Nations, with Bryan Mbeumo, Amad, and Noussair Mazraoui all away with their national teams.
Furthermore, key players including Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt, and Kobbie Mainoo are all doubts for the match. Mason Mount is also racing to be fit after being substituted at half-time against Newcastle. Amorim will likely look to Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha for attacking impetus.
Wolves have their own availability crisis. Emmanuel Agbadou is at AFCON, while Leon Chiwome and Daniel Bentley are out long-term. Injuries to Marshall Munetsi and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde have depleted manager Rob Edwards's midfield options.
The visitors will also be without Rodrigo Gomes and Toti Gomes, and Andre is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Liverpool.
The two sides met earlier this month, with United securing a 4-1 victory at Molineux. However, the recent head-to-head record is tight, with United winning three of the last five encounters and Wolves claiming two.
