Fernandes Brace Steers Manchester United to 4-1 Win Over Wolves

Bruno Fernandes scored twice, with Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount also netting, after Jean-Ricner Bellegarde ended Wolves’ 540‑minute league drought before half-time; Fernandes’ second came from a VAR-awarded handball penalty. Wolves stay bottom on two points from 15 games after an eighth straight league loss and 13th defeat overall, leaving them 13 points from safety and in danger of a Derby County–level points tally. United registered 27 shots, their most under Ruben Amorim, and the head coach praised a sharper second-half display, saying he “really enjoyed” the team’s pace and decision-making. Hundreds of Wolves fans delayed entry for roughly 15 minutes and chanted against owners Fosun, with empty seats visible and further boos late on as tensions around ownership and squad decline intensified. Despite rising to 25 points in sixth place, scrutiny of United’s season persists with no league goals from substitutes and eight points dropped from winning positions, plus uncertainty over injuries and impending AFCON call-ups.
