Mason Mount scored his third Premier League goal of the season for Manchester United in an important away win at Wolves.
Manchester United moved up to sixth in the Premier League on Monday night.
Ruben Amorim’s side recorded their third win on the road as United beat Wolves 4-1 at Molineux.
A scrappy first-half display meant that both teams were drawing 1-1 at the break, but the Red Devils performed far better in the second half.
Bruno Fernandes completed a brace, while Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount added to their tallies for the season.
Wolves offered very little throughout the game after being gifted a lifeline at the end of the first half.

The 26-year-old was found by a beautiful chipped pass by Fernandes for the third goal. Mount, who made a sublime run into the box, was able to volley home his finish.
“As soon as I see Bruno with the ball, that’s my trigger to run in behind,” Mount told Sky Sports in his post-match interview.
“We all know the calibre of player he is.”
It showed a connection between two intelligent players, enjoying themselves on the pitch. Hopefully, a sign of things to come.
Fernandes has been creating more chances than any other in the Premier League for consecutive seasons. Amorim hopes that it continues, despite playing him in a deeper midfield role.
