Manchester United comfortably overcame Wolverhampton Wanderers in a result that saw Ruben Amorim's team rise to sixth in the Premier League table -- you can follow all the reaction with ESPN.
Bruno Fernandes United gave he lead in the 25th minute with a scrappy goal -- assisted by the returning Matheus Cunha -- that incensed the already frustrated home supporters. But Jean-Ricner Bellegarde turned those jeers to cheers as he brought Wolves level on the stroke of half-time.
Bryan Mbeumo wasted little time in restoring United's lead as he rolled Diogo Dalot's square pass into an empty net and Mason Mount made sure of the points with a precise volley near the hour mark. Fernandes added a fourth from the spot after the VAR spotted a handball in the box.

Monday's game featured the return of Cunha to Molineux. The attacker, who joined United in a £62.5 million move in the summer, opened his United account during United's 4-2 win over Brighton in October.
Wolves are enduring a dismal campaign. They are still without a win this season and have not scored a goal in the Premier League since Oct. 26 when they lost 3-2 at home against Burnley.
Amorim's side have put their early-season woes behind them but are still struggling for consistency -- United couldn't find a way past West Ham United at Old Trafford on Thursday as they were forced to settle for a point.
Wolves replaced Vitor Pereira with Rob Edwards in a bid to turn their season around but he is still searching for his first points since returning to the club he represented as a player.
