Wolves 1-4 Manchester United: Mason Mount back with a bang as Red Devils return to winning ways | OneFootball

United were without two key players for Black Country trip

The returning Molineux hero unseflishly sought out his captain, who, under great pressure from Cristian Mosquera, squeezed home past Sam Johnstone.

Cunha was denied a goal against his old employers by Emmanuel Agbadou’s last-ditch clearance off the line and Johnstone’s three stops across the match, including one where the home goalkeeper kept out the United forward’s header from point-blank range.

It was Bellegarde who levelled just shy of the break as United did not deal with a handful of crosses from the hosts.

David Moller Wolfe’s bouncing cut-back fell for the Haitian, who improvised brilliantly to direct it into the corner beyond Senne Lammens.

However, Amorim’s side were ahead once more inside seven minutes of the second period, as Mbeumo profited from a delicious pass from Fernandes out to Diogo Dalot, who fed the Cameroonian as Johnstone rushed out in desperation.

It was three soon after as Mount slammed home the pick of the bunch, volleying in neatly to score United’s third.

The former Chelsea midfielder had been dropped last week in the 1-1 draw with West Ham, but was recalled to the starting XI in place of Joshua Zirkzee. It proved the correct call from Amorim, with the England international pulling the strings from the left-sided No10 position.

The final blow was dealt 10 minutes from time as Amad Diallo’s effort was adjudged to have been handled deliberately by Mosquera, and Fernandes converted the resulting penalty to wrap up a big three points that sets them back on track in their quest to hunt down the top four.
