Wolverhampton Wanderers celebrated a significant 2-0 victory over Manchester United, marking their second win under new manager Vitor Pereira. The match was pivotal as Wolves moved out of the relegation zone, now sitting at 17th place in the Premier League standings. Matheus Cunha was instrumental in the win, scoring directly from a corner, a rare feat that left United's goalkeeper Andre Onana embarrassed. Cunha also assisted the second goal, scored by Hwang Hee-Chan in the dying moments of the game. This victory not only boosted Wolves' morale but also highlighted Pereira's immediate impact, having already matched the win tally of his predecessor, Gary O’Neil, in just two games [1] [4].

Manchester United's current form is a cause for concern, as evidenced by their third consecutive defeat in the Premier League. Under manager Ruben Amorim, United have struggled to find consistency, with only two wins in eight league games. The team's discipline issues were highlighted when Bruno Fernandes received a red card early in the second half, marking his third dismissal of the season. Amorim admitted post-match that the team needs to improve their aggression and control during games. Despite having moments of control, United failed to capitalize, leaving them languishing in the bottom half of the table [2] [3].

Vitor Pereira's arrival at Wolverhampton Wanderers has sparked a noticeable change in the team's performance. Since taking over, Pereira has led Wolves to two consecutive victories, a feat last achieved by a Wolves manager in 1977. His tactical approach and ability to inspire the players have been evident, with Matheus Cunha's standout performances being a testament to Pereira's influence. Cunha, who was named the player of the match, has not only contributed goals but also displayed exceptional work rate and link-up play. Pereira's early success has set a positive tone for Wolves as they aim to climb further up the Premier League table [1] [4].
