"But Mbeumo, Mount and Fernandes netted after the interval to clinch only United's second win in their last six matches. United suffered an embarrassing 1-0 home loss to 10-man Everton on November 24 and 10 days later boos greeted the final whistle following a 1-1 draw with West Ham at Old Trafford. With Amorim growing increasingly tetchy in recent weeks, it was essential that sixth-placed United avoided an embarrassing result against bottom of the table Wolves as they moved within one point of the top four."
"Wolves' eighth successive league defeat equalled their worst top-flight run since 1981-82 and left boss Rob Edwards still waiting for his first victory since arriving from Middlesbrough to replace the sacked Vitor Pereira in November. Wolves have just two points after 15 games and if they fail to win either of their next two against Arsenal and Brentford they will equal Sheffield United's longest winless start in the Premier League of 17 matches. Derby's Premier League record low of just 11 points in a single season is also under threat from dismal Wolves."
Manchester United defeated Wolves 4-1 with goals from Bruno Fernandes (two), Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde scored Wolves' first top-flight goal since October 26 to briefly level the match. The win was only United's second in six games after recent poor results and fan displeasure at Old Trafford. The result moved United to within one point of the top four. Wolves suffered their eighth successive league defeat, equalling their worst top-flight run since 1981-82, sit on two points from 15 games, and remain without a win under Rob Edwards.
