Alan Smith Commends “Quality” Man Utd Star and Bruno Fernandes After Brilliant 4-1 Victory Against Wolves
Manchester United secured an impressive 4-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium on Monday night. This commanding win showcased the team’s strengths, particularly highlighting the performances of key players, including Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount.
Match Overview
The match began with Manchester United demonstrating their offensive capabilities early on. Diogo Dalot had a promising opportunity within the first ten minutes, but his shot was denied by goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring for United with a scrappy goal, marking the team’s first point on the board. However, Wolves equalized just before halftime, with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde finding the net. This goal ended a five-game drought for Wolves without scoring.
Second Half Dominance
United returned to the pitch with renewed energy in the second half. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount placed them in a comfortable lead. The team was awarded a penalty when Yerson Mosquera was penalized for a handball in the box. Fernandes converted the penalty with confidence, sealing the match at 4-1.
Alan Smith’s Praise for Mason Mount
Former Arsenal forward Alan Smith praised Mason Mount following the match. He highlighted Mount’s quality, stating, “He’s been quality out there in most things he has done.” Smith noted the improvements in United’s performance in the second half, attributing part of this to Mount’s contributions.
Despite facing challenges since joining Manchester United from Chelsea for £60 million in 2023, Mount appears to be regaining his form. Limited by injuries earlier in his tenure, he has shown resilience and skill on the pitch. In addition to his performance against Wolves, Mount has now scored three goals in his last four Premier League starts.
Mount’s Role in United’s Plans
- Mount is known for his off-the-ball movements and is often a key player for United.
- His passing and confidence were noteworthy in the recent match.
- Mount is viewed as an essential player by coach Ruben Amorim.
As Manchester United looks to build on this victory, Mount’s performance could be a sign of greater consistency moving forward. Fans are starting to see the player worth of wearing the iconic No. 7 shirt at Old Trafford.
