Luckily, Emmanuel Agbadou ball helped the ball into the back of the net as he attempted to clear it off the line.
The visitors had a couple of chances to double the lead one of which Agbadou eventually cleared off the line as he denied Matheus Cunha a goal on his homecoming.
Against the run of play, Jean-Ricner Bellargarde restored parity two minutes into break as he latched on to David Moller Wolfe’s square ball into the box to give Wolves their first goal since October.
Upon returning from the first half break, Diogo Dalot, off a counter-attacking move, placed a simple pass to Bryan Mbuemo who tapped the ball into an empty net.
Mason Mount smartly beat the offside trap to met Bruno Fernandes’s tailor-made pass with a one-time strike which landed inside the net to give Man United a 3-1 lead after the hour mark.
Bruno Fernandes scored his second goal from the penalty in the 82nd minute to seal a 4-1 win for the Red Devils as they move to sixth on the log with 25 points after 15 matches.
