Manchester United's resurgence at Molineux Park is a stark reminder that they are still very much in the hunt for European qualification despite struggling earlier this season. However, they continue to rely on counter-attacks and long balls over possession football.
Bruno Fernandes scored his first goal of the season with an unorthodox volley that defied logic. Yet, when questioned about it, he attributed it to 'just trying to get in there as quick as possible' rather than showcasing any particular technique or skill.
Wolves, meanwhile, have been unable to find their footing and seem listless at times. Their reliance on long balls does not pose a significant threat to United's defense. Despite the visitors taking an early lead through Dalot, Wolves managed to equalize thanks to Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, with Bruno Fernandes soon putting Manchester United ahead again.
However, in this match, goals have been few and far between, leading some of the commentators to question whether they are truly getting their due at home. With a 61-minute mark update that United really need to show more urgency when they're leading, it's becoming increasingly clear that any win against Wolves is nothing short of a bonus for Manchester United.
Ultimately, while Wolves' defense has been shaky, United's attack seems capable of breaking them down at times. As the teams vie for European qualification spots, these high-stakes matches will be crucial to determining who ultimately claims those places.
While neither side can claim a clean bill of health in terms of recent performance, it's clear that if Manchester United fail to keep up with their early lead, they could easily find themselves losing momentum and facing an uphill battle.
