Manchester United moved up to sixth in the Premier League table and just one point outside the top four with a 4-1 victory over Wolves on Monday night.
Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring in the 25th minute but Jean-Ricner Bellegrade scored Wolves’ first goal in five-and-a-half games with the equaliser in first-half stoppage time.
Bryan Mbeumo put the Red Devils in front in the 51st minute with Mason Mount adding a third just after the hour mark. Fernandes sealed the win with a penalty in the 82nd minute.
“I’m feeling good. I think we played well, most of the time. I think we disconnected a little bit after the first goal, that hurt us. But in the second half, everyone felt we were there to win the game and that was a good feeling,” said manager Ruben Amorim afterwards.
On his half-time team talk, he added: “It wasn't tactical. It was so clear we are dominating the games but not finishing the plays as we should do. We need to be better in the details. [I was] trying to explain to the players we have 45 minutes to win the three points that are crucial for our life.”
