Wolves vs Man Utd: Bruno Fernandes goal opens scoring in Premier League

Wolves’ dire start to the season continued after the bottom side in the Premier League conceded a terrible goal against Manchester United at Molineux on Monday.

Diogo Dalot had a great early chance for the visitors but saw his low shot saved well by Sam Johnstone before United captain Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring.

Wolves vs Man United: Home fans protest

Plenty of Wolves fans stayed outside of the stadium until the 15th minute in protest at the club’s current performance on and off the field.

And after they had returned, United scored a goal largely of Wolves’ own making.

Andre dallied on the ball in midfield, Casemiro tackled and the ball ran on to former Wolves forward Matheus Cunha.

The £62.5 million signing squared the ball for Fernandes, who slipped in the rain but still had time to get up and squeeze the ball through Johnstone and in.

The home fans loudly sang “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” and boos rang out from the stands before Johnstone did well to save from Cunha.

Wolves had just two points from their first 14 Premier League games coming, which is the joint-fewest ever at this stage of a top-flight campaign along with Manchester United in 1930-31 – when wins were worth two points – and Sheffield United in 2020-21.
