Wolverhampton, England – Wolverhampton Wanderers stunned Manchester United with a 2-0 victory at Molineux in Vitor Pereira’s first home game in charge. The match, which saw United captain Bruno Fernandes receive a red card for a second yellow, was marked by a stunning goal straight from a corner by Matheus Cunha in the 58th minute. Hwang Hee-chan sealed the victory with a counter-attack goal deep into added time (90+9′).
The win lifts Wolves out of the Premier League relegation zone, jumping above Leicester City, while Manchester United’s difficult start under manager Ruben Amorim continues. This defeat marks Amorim’s fifth loss in his first ten games across all competitions, a record not seen at the club since 1932. Fernandes’ dismissal was his third red card of the season, adding to the team’s woes.
Post-match reaction was mixed. Amorim acknowledged the difficulty of the game after the sending off, highlighting near-misses for his team despite being down a player. Meanwhile, Pereira celebrated his second consecutive win without conceding a goal.
Fans reacted with concern and dismay on social media, questioning United’s prospects for the season and Amorim’s ability to turn the team around. Many pointed to the team’s underperforming attackers and midfield issues as contributing factors to their struggles. The atmosphere at Molineux, however, was celebratory as Wolves secured a crucial win and ended a run of poor results. The match also highlighted Manchester United’s continued struggles and the mounting pressure on manager Amorim.
