Manchester United versus Wolves. United has shown some improvement this season, currently unbeaten in the last two rounds and firmly placed in the upper mid-table.

However, their chance conversion was poor, with only Bruno Fernandes scoring first to take the lead away from home. Wolves managed to equalize with a late goal during stoppage time. In the second half, United intensified their attacks, bombarding Wolves relentlessly. Bruno Fernandes and Mount were very active, helping to connect the team. United scored three more goals in quick succession, ultimately winning 4-1, achieving a big victory and extending their unbeaten streak to three matches.
