Overview 

Though trailing, Wolves were better off in the first half than they were after the interval. United were a little physical, earning Mbeumo a warning card. Mason Mount was effective, delivering the balls into the attack while Wolves kept the deficit narrow. 

Wolves were a little careless. Earlier, they dodged a penalty for a handball, which the referee overlooked. The scoreline would have been different. However, it changed in the second half. United completely took down their opponents, wrapping it up with Fernandez's penalty. The Portuguese forward remains an important figure in United's squad. Likewise, Amad Diallo has cemented his role on the right wing.
