Bruno Fernandes scored twice and set up another as Manchester United cruised to a 4-1 victory over Wolverhampton on Monday, climbing into the Premier League’s top six.

Fernandes opened the scoring early, capitalizing on a midfield error by Andre before squeezing a shot past goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. Wolves equalized seconds before halftime when David Moller Wolfe’s cross found Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who volleyed home for the team’s first league goal in more than a month.

United regained control shortly after the restart. Bryan Mbeumo tapped in Diogo Dalot’s pass in the 51st minute to restore the visitors’ lead, and Mason Mount extended it 11 minutes later after a clever chipped assist from Fernandes. The United captain sealed the win with an 82nd-minute penalty.

The result handed Wolves their eighth straight defeat, leaving them bottom of the table with just two points, eight behind Burnley. Thousands of fans staged a 15-minute boycott against owners Fosun International, missing United’s opening goal.

“We got ourselves back in the game but the goals we conceded were poor,” Wolves manager Rob Edwards said. “We’re getting punished and have to improve.”

Despite United’s inconsistent form this season, the team dominated the second half. Mount said manager Ruben Amorim’s stern halftime talk pushed the players to be “ruthless” after a sloppy finish to the first period.

United now sit sixth with 25 points, level with fifth-place Chelsea. “We can’t stop now. We’ve got to keep going,” Mount added.
