Man United Ratings

Manchester United delivered their most complete performance of the season with a dominant 4-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Monday night. The win not only lifted United to sixth in the Premier League table but also highlighted the brilliance of Bruno Fernandes, who earned a near-perfect 10/10 in the Man United ratings thanks to an influential, match-defining display.

Wolves, meanwhile, endured another grim night, both on the pitch and in the stands, as fan protests highlighted the growing frustration with club ownership amid a looming relegation battle. With a mix of tactical discipline, attacking fluency and midfield control, Manchester United thoroughly outclassed a Wolves side low on confidence and quality.

United Start Strong as Fernandes Leads the Charge

The Red Devils established immediate dominance in the first half, orchestrating possession with precision and creating multiple early chances. Their breakthrough came through relentless pressing—an identity Ruben Amorim has tried to instill since taking charge.

Casemiro set the tone when he pounced on André near the penalty area, stealing the ball and forcing a turnover. The loose pass fell into space, where Matheus Cunha attempted to recover but underhit his ball. Bruno Fernandes reacted quickest, sliding to connect and finishing with control to open the scoring. In terms of Man United ratings, this was just the beginning of his standout performance.

Wolves offered little going forward except for sporadic counterattacks. But just before halftime, they capitalized on some slack United defending. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde found the ball in space and produced a clinical strike into the far corner, leveling the match at 1-1 and giving the home crowd a rare moment to celebrate.

Dominance Resumes After the Break

After regrouping, Manchester United returned for the second half with renewed intensity. The reward came quickly.

In the 51st minute, Diogo Dalot made a clever run through midfield, drawing defenders and threading a perfectly weighted pass to Bryan Mbeumo. With the goalkeeper stranded, Mbeumo calmly slotted into an empty net to restore United’s lead.

From that point, United took full control of the match. Bruno Fernandes produced the highlight of the night with a sublime assist for Mason Mount. Breaking the lines with his trademark precision passing, Fernandes split the Wolves defense and found Mount in stride. Mount finished brilliantly to make it 3-1 and put United firmly in command.

The captain wasn’t done yet. In the 81st minute, Fernandes stepped up to take a penalty and drilled it past Sam Johnstone, sealing the 4-1 victory and completing a remarkable individual performance worthy of a perfect score in the Man United ratings.

With nine minutes of stoppage time added, Wolves fans groaned audibly—a reflection of the deep frustration surrounding the club this season.

Positives and Negatives for United

Positives

• Ruben Amorim’s system clicked: United looked dangerous in nearly every attack and dominated possession.

• Outstanding midfield control: Led by Fernandes and Casemiro, United dictated tempo and created constant threats.

• Attacking efficiency improved: Four well-crafted goals from open play and set pieces.

Negatives

• Unnecessary giveaways early on: United occasionally lost the ball cheaply, especially in the first half.

• Missed clean sheet: Defensive lapse allowed Wolves to equalize late in the first half.

Manager Rating: Ruben Amorim — 8/10

Ruben Amorim deserves significant praise. His tactical blueprint was visible in every phase of play: disciplined pressing, fluid buildup, high-energy transitions and organized defensive structure. The match never seemed out of United’s control, a testament to effective coaching.

Full Man United Ratings (1–10)

Little he could do about the Wolves goal. Largely untested afterward.

DF — Luke Shaw: 6
Reliable defensively and linked play well in buildup, though not heavily involved.

DF — Ayden Heaven: 7
Composed and intelligent at the back. Excellent reading of the game for a 19-year-old.

DF — Noussair Mazraoui: 7
Key in buildup phases, always looking forward. Defensively sound.

MF — Diogo Dalot: 6
Mixed first half but redeemed himself with the assist for Mbeumo. Good forward runs.

MF — Bruno Fernandes: 10
The heartbeat of the team. Scored twice, provided a stunning assist, and controlled every passing channel. Fully deserving of the highest score in the Man United ratings.

Pressed aggressively and forced the first goal. Dominant defensive presence.

MF — Amad Diallo: 6
Energetic and direct but lacked decisiveness in key moments.

Wolves Fans Protest Before Yet Another Defeat

Before kickoff, Wolves supporters staged a 15-minute walk-in protest aimed at the ownership group, Fosun, and executive chairman Shi. The South Bank was half-empty at kickoff, and banners reading “Shi Out” underscored the growing discontent.

Wolves fans believe years of poor recruitment, selling top players, and stagnation have created a “managed decline.” Once playing in a Europa League quarter-final five years ago, the club now sits bottom of the table with just two points and 13 points from safety.

On the field, despite showing effort under manager Mark Edwards, Wolves remain severely undermanned. The 4-1 defeat marks their eighth straight loss, tying a club record from 1981–82. With league leaders Arsenal next, the situation looks increasingly dire.

Conclusion

Manchester United’s emphatic 4-1 win over Wolves showcased a team growing in confidence under Ruben Amorim. With Fernandes delivering a world-class 10/10 performance, these Man United ratings reveal a squad finally blending structure with creativity.

For Wolves, however, the defeat deepens a crisis both on and off the pitch, with fans demanding answers and relegation appearing more inevitable by the week.
