Last Monday, Manchester United (12th) drew with West Ham United and traveled to Wolverhampton (20th) to wrap up the 15th round of the Premier League, hoping to get back in the race for European spots. Against the weakest team in the English top flight this season, Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils took control of the match. After a setup from Cunha, Bruno Fernandes initially slipped but managed to push the ball into the net past Johnstone (25th minute, 0-1). Former Strasbourg player Jean-Ricner Bellegarde equalized just before halftime, marking Wolves’ first league goal since October 26.
After the break, Manchester United’s dominance became even clearer. Just six minutes into the second half, Bryan Mbeumo restored the visitors’ lead (51st minute, 1-2), followed by Mason Mount who extended the advantage (62nd minute, 1-3). Bruno Fernandes capped off his impressive performance with a penalty goal, making it a double for him (82nd minute, 1-4). With this victory (1-4), United climbs to sixth place, level on points with Chelsea in fifth, who has a better goal difference. Meanwhile, Wolverhampton, managed by Rob Edwards, suffers their eighth consecutive defeat and faces relegation to the Championship with each passing match.
