Manchester United returned to winning ways with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium.
United head coach Ruben Amorim made only one change to his side that drew 1-1 against West Ham United, with Mason Mount replacing Joshua Zirkzee.
Captain Bruno Fernandes set the tone early, capitalising on a comical Wolves defensive mix-up to slot home the opener.
Wolves finally ended their long goal drought when Jean-Ricner Bellegarde fired in an equaliser right on the stroke of half-time.
United wasted no time after the break, with Bryan Mbeumo pouncing to restore the lead within minutes of the restart.
Mason Mount then made it 3-1, finishing coolly after a sublime assist by Fernandes.
Fernandes struck again from the spot to seal a commanding brace.
The victory propels United up to sixth place, level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea as the race for Europe intensifies.
