This Thursday on the Wolverhampton pitch, Manchester United conceded another defeat (2-0) and saw Bruno Fernandes excluded.
Wolverhampton left the relegation zone by beating Manchester United 2-0, weakened on Thursday by the exclusion of captain Bruno Fernandes and now fourteenth after 18 Premier League matches.
The “Wolves” of the new Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira move up to seventeenth place with 15 points while awaiting the meeting with Leicester (18th, 14 pts) in the evening at leader Liverpool.
Tough schedule
They took advantage of the exclusion of Bruno Fernandes on a second yellow card, just after returning from the locker room (47th), and especially of the majuscule performance of Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian striker, by far the best player on Thursday, scored a direct corner (58th, 1-0) then offered a ready-made goal for Hee-Chan Hwang (90th +9).
If everything smiles on Pereira, already winner of his first match on Sunday (3-0 against Leicester), the atmosphere has become much heavier for his compatriot Ruben Amorim. The former Sporting coach suffered a fifth defeat in ten matches in all competitions on Thursday since his arrival on the Manchester United bench in November. In the Premier League, his “Red Devils” now have four defeats in five matches before facing Newcastle then Liverpool next week.
