Wolverhampton Wanderers have been tipped to do well at Old Trafford this weekend - by the opposition!
The match finished 1-0 with Raul Jimenez's goal securing Wolves' first win in the Premier League on home soil in 2011, but the scoreline should have been more comfortable for the hosts who racked up no fewer than 30 attempts on goal.
Although their finishing left a lot to be desired on occasion, the sheer number of chances Wolves created, and the style of their play in general, made an impression on Red Devils supporters who are predicting their side will have a tough time of it against Nuno Espirito Santo's men on Saturday.
But Sunday's (12am AEST) match at Wolves feels a bit different, with the Red Devils still nowhere near the best and their opponent likely to be fearless.
Wolves under Nuno Espirito Santo have started their Premier League campaign in style, playing an attractive brand of football, gathering eight points from five matches and currently residing in ninth position in the standings - one spot behind Manchester United.
