Manchester United put on a show as they cruised to a 4-1 victory over Wolves, with Bruno Fernandes stealing the spotlight with a brace at Molineux. The win propelled United to sixth place in the Premier League standings.
The match was overshadowed by protests against Fosun International’s ownership of Wolves, leading to a delayed start as fans made their voices heard. Despite the distractions, United took the lead in the 25th minute after a series of defensive errors from Wolves.
Fernandes capitalized on a mistake from Andre, slotting the ball past Sam Johnstone to give United the lead. Wolves managed to pull one back just before halftime through Jean Ricner-Bellegarde, but United quickly regained control in the second half.
Goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Mason Mount, and another from Fernandes sealed the win for United, who are now just a point away from fourth place in the table. On the other hand, Wolves’ struggles continue as they find themselves rooted to the bottom of the league.
Wolves’ loss marked their eighth consecutive defeat in the Premier League, matching their worst-ever streak in club history. The team’s poor start to the season is almost unprecedented, putting them in the company of some of the worst-performing teams in English football history.
United, on the other hand, continue to impress on the road with three wins and two draws in their last five away games. The Red Devils’ attacking display against Wolves was one of their best under manager Amorim, with 27 shots and an expected goals tally of 4.1.
Overall, it was a dominant performance from United as they continue to climb up the table, while Wolves face an uphill battle to turn their season around.
