Manchester United beat Wolverhampton 1-0 on Tuesday, in a match on matchday 16 of the Premier League.

Bruno Fernandes was, again, the main loader of the attack of the Red Devils, but this time, and even with Edinson Cavani as a starter, his passes didn’t have the best sequence of his teammates. The game started practically with Mason Greenwood losing to Rui Patrício at the far post, but then the visitors closed the space in front of his goal and Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer’s team felt blocked. Bruno Fernandes had the longest shot worthy of a record in the match.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s team, on the other hand, was almost always protected from the counterattack, with Pedro Neto and Adama Traoré very active, although not always with the best definition. Rúben Neves, João Moutinho and Vitinha were the other Portuguese in the starting eleven, Fábio Silva and Daniel Podence entered during the second half.

In the final quarter of an hour, Manchester United pushed for the winning goal, and Pogba and Rashford had good chances to do so, albeit to no avail.

In the discounts, Bruno Fernandes threw a long ball to Marcus Rashford, who was surrounded by several opponents already in the area. The English international held, held and fired with his left foot, the ball going through Romain Saiss and into the left post, betraying Patrício.

With the victory, the Red Devils occupy the second position, with 30 points, two behind leaders Liverpool. Wolves is twelfth, with 21.
