"Bruno Fernandes scored twice as Manchester United thrashed bottom club Wolves 4-1 at Molineux to climb to sixth in the Premier League table. Monday's game was played against the backdrop of protests against Fosun International's ownership of Wolves, with many fans not entering the stadium until 15 minutes had passed. By that point, Diogo Dalot and Bryan Mbeumo had already gone close for United, and the Red Devils went ahead following a litany of Wolves mistakes in the 25th minute."
"Andre was dispossessed all too easily by Casemiro, and despite slipping following Matheus Cunha's lay-off, Fernandes recovered to squeeze a shot under Sam Johnstone's left glove. Mbeumo, Cunha and Amad Diallo all passed up chances to make it 2-0, and instead, Wolves got their first goal in over eight hours of Premier League action, with Jean Ricner-Bellegarde steering David Moller Wolfe's cutback home in first-half stoppage time."
"But United streaked clear in the second half, restoring their lead in the 51st minute as Cunha's pass released Dalot, and his centre was tapped into an empty net by Mbeumo. Mason Mount made it 3-1 following a lovely chipped pass from Fernandes in the 62nd minute, and the United captain would get the second goal his performance deserved from the penalty spot."
