United plays its first league match since blowing two leads in a 2-2 draw against Tottenham on Jan. 14. It was the fifth outing in six games without a victory in the league. The team returned to winning ways at the weekend with a 4-2 win in the FA Cup against Newport County but needed two late goals against the League Two side to secure a spot in the next round.
Wolves beat West Brom in a derby on Sunday to further boost the mood around the club. The team has taken big strides under Gary O’Neil and sits only three points adrift from Erik ten Hag’s United.
Wolverhampton has been impressive in recent weeks, and the team’s good run of form includes an eight-game unbeaten streak on home turf. The surge started with a victory over Manchester City, and O’Neil has guided his side to five wins over the stretch.
The home success has also resulted in Wolves scoring in 17 consecutive matches, which is the team’s best run in the top flight since 1968.
O’Neil remains without Hwang Hee-chan and Boubacar Traore on Thursday, while United welcomes back Andre Onana and will also have Marcus Rashford available again.
United’s No. 10 will have plenty to prove after making headlines for all the wrong reasons last week. He scored the lone goal last season as United triumphed 1-0 at Molineux.
The win at Molineux sparked a three-game winning streak for United in this match-up. The Red Devils followed up the result with a 2-0 home victory and also beat Wolves via a Raphael Varane strike 1-0 at Old Trafford during the opening weekend this season.
Wolves boast just one victory over United in the past seven head-to-head clashes and haven’t even scored in five of the games. A winning effort on Thursday would be very special for the side, as Wolves fans have previously witnessed only three home wins in the Premier League against United.
