Sharjah24: Manchester United regained their winning momentum in the Premier League with a commanding 4–1 victory over struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 15th round of the competition.

The result strengthens United’s challenge for a top-four spot as they continue their pursuit of Champions League qualification.

Fernandes' brace leads dominant performance

Under Portuguese coach Rúben Amorim, United bounced back strongly after last week’s disappointing draw against West Ham. Captain Bruno Fernandes led the scoring with a brace (25' and 82' from the penalty spot), while Cameroon’s Bryan Mbeumo (51') and Mason Mount (62') added two more goals. Wolves’ only response came through Haiti’s Jean-Ricner Bellegarde deep into first-half stoppage time (45+2').

Wolves remain winless at bottom of the table

The victory boosts Manchester United to 25 points, putting them in sixth place, equal on points with Chelsea in fifth based on goal difference, and just one point behind fourth-placed Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Wolves remain at the bottom of the table in 20th position with only two points and no wins so far this season.
