Wolves vs Man United: Red Devils Secure Commanding 4-1 Win at Molineux
Manchester United Dominate Wolves in Comprehensive Victory
Manchester United made it five away games unbeaten in the Premier League with a comfortable 4-1 win against Wolves on Monday evening at Molineux. The victory saw the result take United up to sixth in the standings, marking a significant step forward under manager Ruben Amorim’s leadership.
Fernandes Leads the Charge
Captain Bruno Fernandes dictated the match from midfield in a complete performance, delivering an outstanding display that included two goals and an assist. Fernandes got the ball rolling with a scrappy finish after 25 minutes played in the Midlands, before Wolves hit back in first-half stoppage time through Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. Despite the temporary setback, United’s skipper remained instrumental throughout the contest.
The Portuguese midfielder’s influence grew in the second half, as he tucked away his second of the game to make it 4-1 from the spot after a penalty was awarded following a VAR review. His performance earned praise from pundits and demonstrated why he remains central to United’s ambitions this season.
Second-Half Surge Seals Victory
Ruben Amorim’s Reds turned on the gas in the second half, with Bryan Mbeumo, Mason Mount and Fernandes again completing a professional display. Mason Mount volleyed home a Bruno Fernandes cross to score his second goal in three matches and his third of the season as the Red Devils hammered Wolves 4-1, continuing his resurgence after an injury-plagued spell at Old Trafford.
The victory was particularly impressive given United’s recent inconsistency at home, and it demonstrates the tactical progress being made under Amorim’s guidance.
Wolves’ Struggles Continue
For Wolves, the defeat compounds a miserable campaign. Wolves stay on two points, dead last in the Premier League and 13 back of the 16th- and 17th-placed clubs. The match was played against a backdrop of fan protests, with supporters demonstrating their frustration with the club’s ownership and current predicament.
United became the first team to concede a league goal against Wolves since October, highlighting just how dire the hosts’ attacking form has been this season. The club faces an uphill battle to avoid relegation as they prepare for their next fixture against Arsenal.
Looking Ahead
Manchester United’s away form has become a bright spot in their season, with this result further cementing their upward trajectory. The Red Devils now turn their attention to a home fixture against Bournemouth at Old Trafford, where they will look to build on this momentum and continue their climb up the Premier League table. For Wolves, the search for their first win of the season continues, with urgent improvements needed to escape the relegation zone.
