Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes led the charge as the Red Devils thrashed Wolverhampton 4-1 at Molineux Stadium. Fernandes scored two goals and set up another, helping United move into the top six of the English Premier League with 25 points, level with Chelsea. Wolves, meanwhile, suffered their eighth consecutive defeat and remain bottom of the table with just two points. The match saw a coordinated protest from thousands of Wolves fans, who boycotted the first 15 minutes to express their discontent with the club's ownership by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International. However, their efforts were in vain as United took the lead early on, with Fernandes scoring a well-taken goal after a Brazilian player's mistake in midfield. Wolves did manage to equalize just before halftime, but United's momentum was too much to handle. The Red Devils scored three goals in the second half, with Mason Mount and Fernandes adding to their tally. Fernandes' second goal came from the penalty spot in the 82nd minute, sealing a comprehensive victory for United. Despite their inconsistency this season, United's performance on Monday was a testament to their quality and depth. The team's ability to adapt and respond to setbacks was evident as they outclassed Wolves in a second-half blitz. United's win has moved them up the table, while Wolves continue to struggle at the bottom with no signs of a quick turnaround. Wolves coach Rob Edwards acknowledged his team's struggles, citing nervousness and a lack of consistency as major issues. He emphasized the need for improvement and consistency, but it's clear that the team has a long way to go before they can challenge for a spot in the top six. United, on the other hand, will look to build on this impressive performance and continue their push for a top-four finish.
