United sends wolves packing in 4-goal rout
Red Devils turn on the style against woeful Wolverhampton to leap into top six
Ruben Amorim said Manchester United had "improved a lot" after it climbed back into the race to qualify for the Champions League with a Bruno Fernandes-inspired 4-1 rout of woeful Wolves on Monday.
Amorim's side recovered from its disappointing draw with lowly West Ham last week thanks to Fernandes' double and goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount at Molineux.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde had canceled out Fernandes' opener with Wolves' first goal in six games in all competitions, and their first in the top-flight since Oct 26.
But Mbeumo, Mount and Fernandes netted after the interval to secure the win for United, only its second in its last six matches.
United suffered an embarrassing 1-0 home loss to 10-man Everton on Nov 24 and, 10 days later, boos greeted the final whistle following a limp 1-1 draw with West Ham at Old Trafford.
With Amorim growing increasingly tetchy in recent weeks, it was essential that United avoided an embarrassing result against bottom-of-the-table Wolves, as it moved within one point of the top four into sixth place.
