With the title race over for the Red Devils, Ralf Rangnick will look to ensure that his side's resurgence continues at pace - but the visit of Bruno Lage's side could prove a slippery banana skin.

Team news & rosters
| Position | Man Utd roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | De Gea, Grant, Heaton, Henderson |
| Defenders | Lindelof, Bailly, Jones, Maguire, Varane, Dalot, Shaw, Telles, Wan-Bissaka, Mengi |
| Midfielders | Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Fred, Fernandes, Matic, Van de Beek, McTominay, Mejbri |

From the heights of Europa League heartbreak at the end of last term to an empty challenge for silverware this season, 2021 took Manchester United to heights they hadn't seen for a while and then crashing back to earth.
Ralf Rangnick will hope that he can quiet the discontent of star men though with a rich run of form in 2022 as he lays the groundwork for his successor - and with stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes at hand, he may deliver in their first game of the year.
Predicted Man Utd starting XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Greenwood, McTominay, Matic, Fernandes; Ronaldo, Cavani.
| Position | Wolves roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Sa, Ruddy, Storer |
| Defenders | Hoever, Ait-Nouri, Marcal, Mosquera, Boly, Coady, Jonny, Semedo, Kilman, Bueno |
| Midfielders | Jordao, Neves, Podence, Saiss, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Cundle |
| Forwards | Neto, Jimenez, Trincao, Silva, Hwang, Traore, Campbell |
Having not played since a 0-0 draw against Chelsea on December 19, Wolves should come into this game feeling relatively fresh compared to their opponents, who have played twice in the past week.
Goals are unlikely to be on the agenda given Wolves' recent matches which have seen just four goals scored across their last seven fixtures.
Predicted Wolves starting XI: Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Hoever, Neves, Moutinho, Marcal; Traore, Jimenez, Podence.
