Manchester United produced a commanding performance in a 4–1 victory over a struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers, leaving the hosts rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table without a single point. It was captain Bruno Fernandes who set the tone midway through the first half, calmly slotting home in the 25th minute. But just before the break, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde struck back, giving Wolves a brief lifeline and a flicker of hope.

The second half, however, belonged entirely to United. A swift counterattack saw Bryan Mbeumo restore the visitors’ lead with a composed finish. Moments later, Fernandes delivered a stunning defence-splitting pass that left Mason Mount with a simple task — and the midfielder made no mistake. United’s captain then completed his brace from the penalty spot after a handball by Jerson Mosquera, sealing a result that felt emphatic and inevitable.
