Paul Merson gives his prediction for Man United vs Wolves
Manchester United beat Burnley 3-1 on Thursday, to clinch sixth position on the league table.
The Red Devils are now preparing to face a Wolves side that haven’t played a game since December 19, and they will hope to come out victorious in the encounter as well.
However, former Arsenal star, Paul Merson, believes it won’t be an easy game for the Red Devils, even if he predicts United will win it narrowly.
He told Sportskeeda, “You just don’t know what you’re going to get with Manchester United.
“They were so fortunate against Norwich City and were never going to beat Newcastle United away from home, so this will once again be a hard game for them. That said, I can totally see how it’s going to pan out for them.
“They’ll beat Burnley and Wolves and people will say their manager is unreal and all that, but based on what I’ve seen so far, I don’t see them finishing in the top four.
“Manchester United are a long way off now and if they somehow manage to get to fourth, it’ll be a great season for them.
“In terms of their team, I strongly believe Cristiano Ronaldo should be left out of the team. It won’t happen, but Edinson Cavani should take his place upfront with the likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood in contention to play on the wings.
“Something’s just not right there. I think there is a lot going on behind the scenes and it doesn’t look good for them. That said, they’ll probably win this one, but it won’t be pretty.”
Merson’s final prediction: Manchester United 1-0 Wolves.
