"Manchester United climbed to sixth in the Premier League on Monday as captain Bruno Fernandes scored twice to help them claim a comfortable 4-1 victory at bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers, whose calamitous season grows bleaker by the week. Dispirited Wolves fans spent most of the first half chanting in protest at the club's Chinese owners, Fosun, and their mood worsened when Fernandes gave United a 25th-minute lead."
"To their credit, Wolves showed some enterprise, and they were cheered off at half-time after Haiti international Jean-Ricner Bellegarde fired home an equaliser in stoppage time. Bryan Mbeumo restored United's lead with a tap-in after 52 minutes, and Mason Mount's composed finish made it 3-1 just past the hour mark. Fernandes completed the job for United with a penalty after VAR spotted a handball."
"Ruben Amorim's United have 25 points from 15 games, while Wolves' club-record eighth successive league defeat, and 13th of the season, left them marooned on two points and in danger of setting some unwanted Premier League history. Their tally of points is the joint-lowest after 15 games in the history of England's top four tiers, and they are without a league win since April, losing 16 and drawing three since."
Manchester United climbed to sixth in the Premier League after a 4-1 victory at bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers. Captain Bruno Fernandes scored twice, giving United the lead from a 25th-minute goal and converting a late penalty after VAR spotted a handball. Wolves briefly equalised in stoppage time of the first half through Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, but Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount added second and third goals early in the second half. Wolves suffered a club-record eighth successive league defeat and remain on two points after 15 games, the joint-lowest tally in the top four tiers' history. Wolves now sit 13 points from safety and risk beating Derby County's lowest-ever Premier League points total.
