Overview
- Manchester United beat Wolves 4-1 at Molineux as Bruno Fernandes produced two goals and an assist, including the setup for Mason Mount.
- Fernandes became the fifth player in Premier League history to register an assist in five consecutive away league matches, joining Mohamed Salah, Cesc Fàbregas, Gerard Deulofeu and Muzzy Izzet.
- United are up to sixth in the table and have lost just once in their last nine games, consolidating a recent uptick in results.
- Reaction was split, with James Maddison and Troy Deeney praising Fernandes’ display while former United defender Paul Parker criticised his first-half play and questioned his captaincy compared with Lisandro Martinez’s on-field leadership.
- Season context and future watch: Fernandes leads the Premier League in assists this season, has a contract through 2027, and reports continue to link him with potential Saudi Pro League interest.
