Fernandes orchestrates Red Devils rout

Fernandes Conducts Symphony of Destruction at Molineux

Highly Entertaining Futmetrix Score: 70/100. Manchester United's visit to Molineux turned into a clinical exhibition of attacking prowess, with Bruno Fernandes orchestrating a 4-1 demolition that exposed the vast gulf between sixth and twentieth place.

The Siege Begins

From the opening whistle, Manchester United imposed their intensity with relentless purpose. Fernandes struck first at the 25-minute mark, assisted by Matheus Cunha, setting the tone for what would become a one-sided affair. Wolves' desperate resistance lasted until the 45th-minute mark when Jean-Ricner Bellegarde briefly offered hope with a well-taken finish, courtesy of D. M. Wolfe's assist. But the leveller arrived too late to shift momentum.

The Onslaught Continues

United's attacking balance shifted decisively after the interval. B. Mbeumo restored the two-goal cushion at 51 minutes, fed by Diogo Dalot's precision. The lead changed hands three times during this encounter, yet United's superior firepower—27 shots to Wolves' 8—proved insurmountable. Mason Mount added the third at 62 minutes, again teed up by the imperious Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder's stakes were evident in every touch: five key passes, two goals, and the composure to convert a 82nd-minute penalty with Molineux already resigned to defeat.

Numbers Don't Lie

United's possession dominance (64%) translated into a barrage of 27 shots with 10 finding the target. Wolves managed just eight attempts, a 3.4:1 disadvantage that tells the entire story. Ten corners created relentless set-piece pressure. The expected goals metric (4.10 vs 0.38) revealed a mismatch in quality: United's clinical finishing turned half-chances into goals, while Wolves' wastefulness compounded their misery. Three yellow cards for the hosts reflected frustration as much as indiscipline.

Key Questions

What made Bruno Fernandes the Man of the Match?

Fernandes' brace, penalty conversion, and five key passes orchestrated United's attack with surgical precision. His 9.2 rating reflects complete dominance in midfield.

What caused the 5-goal thriller?

United's 27-shot onslaught overwhelmed Wolves' fragile defence. Three lead changes created chaos, but United's clinical finishing and Fernandes' brilliance proved decisive.
