Manchester United are gearing up to host Wolverhampton Wanderers in their final Premier League fixture of 2025 at Old Trafford, with key absences shaping a likely starting XI and tactical setup. United boss Ruben Amorim is expected to deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation, balancing attacking flair and defensive solidity as they target a positive end to the year. �

Predicted Red Devils XI:
GK: Senne Lammens
Defence: Luke Shaw, Ayden Heaven, Lisandro Martínez
Midfield: Diogo Dalot, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, Patrick Dorgu
Forwards: Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount
Striker: Benjamin Šeško
This lineup reflects United’s response to injury and AFCON absences, with younger players like Heaven and Dorgu stepping up alongside seasoned pros like Casemiro. Without talisman Bruno Fernandes, United will rely on Cunha and Mount to create chances and link play.
Wolves, struggling at the bottom of the table, could line up with a back four and a frontline featuring Tolu Arokodare and Mateus Mané, though defensive frailties persist.
With United favored to extend their strong recent head-to-head record against Wolves, the hosts will be confident of securing three points to finish the calendar year on a high.
