Bruno Fernandes celebrating after scoring for Manchester United against Wolves.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was once again at the heart of the Red Devils’ attack, helping his team secure a vital 4-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.
Fernandes opened the scoring in the 25th minute, before Wolves briefly equalized through Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. United regained control in the second half, with Mason Mount and Bryan Mbeumo finding the net, and Fernandes adding a second goal from the penalty spot to cement his side’s win.
The victory lifts Manchester United to sixth in the Premier League, eight points behind leaders Arsenal, and continues their impressive run of form with only one defeat in the last nine games.
Alongside his two goals against Wolves, Fernandes provided an assist for Mount’s strike — a contribution that has seen him join an exclusive Premier League club alongside stars like Mohamed Salah and Cesc Fabregas.
He has now delivered an assist in five consecutive away games, a feat first achieved by Leicester legend Muzzy Izzet in 2003. His assist streak began in October, including key setups against Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace.
Salah completed a similar five-game away assist run for Liverpool in 2023, while Fabregas achieved it for Chelsea during the 2014-15 season. Gerard Deulofeu also reached the mark with Everton in 2015.
Fernandes continues to pull the strings for Manchester United, with six assists so far this season — only behind Michael Olise (8) and Lamine Yamal (7) in Europe’s top five leagues.
The Portuguese maestro has now recorded a goal and an assist in the same game 16 times in his United career, with only Salah (27) and Kevin De Bruyne (17) surpassing him. Against Wolves, he also notched three goal involvements in a single match for the eighth time in his career, a first since last March against Leicester.
Bruno Fernandes’ latest performance is a reminder of why he remains Manchester United’s talisman. His ability to influence matches, provide assists, and lead by example underscores his place among Premier League elite and the reason he now sits alongside legends like Salah and Fabregas in this exclusive club.
