Wolves moved out of the relegation zone with a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Molineux.
The party continues for Vitor Pereira, who led his Wolves squad to their second consecutive win.
After Pereira made history against Leicester City, the manager ensured his first outing at Molineux was one to remember.

Ruben Amorim disagrees with Vitor Pereira claim
Wolves moved out of the relegation zone with the three points collected against United, seeing Pereira’s reign get off to a stellar start.
The 56-year-old traded the Saudi Pro League to fulfil his Premier League dream, something he’s taking in his stride to the delight of those at Molineux.
Many have already seen great change in Wolves since Pereira’s arrival, with it clear how much of an impact the new manager has had.
The win over United was a statement for the Old Gold, in a contest that saw two newly appointed managers go head-to-head.
The boss came out on top against his countryman Ruben Amorim, and while the Man United manager has been positive about Pereira, there was something the coach disagreed with.
In his post-match press conference, a journalist asked Amorim a puzzling question, asking why Wolves’ new manager had found success so quickly.
“Wolves have just had a new manager in for a week with a new system, with your players, what do you think is missing?” The reporter asked.
Amorim made it clear very quickly that he disagreed with such claim about Pereira, responding rhetorically.
“New system? Wolves are playing a new system? They play the same system,” Amorim said.
“Vitor Pereira, who played the same system in Saudi Arabia. It was the same system, the same position. The squad was built up for this system.”
The journalist was put in his place by the Man United boss, who was sure to highlight the transition for Pereira at Molineux.
Wolves are a different team under Pereira
There is truth to Amorim’s complaint regarding the question he was asked, as Pereira is implementing his style to a squad who have been instructed similarly in the past.
That being said, the manager’s impact goes far beyond his team’s set-up, introducing a new level of belief at Compton Park.

Following the Old Gold’s win over Leicester, captain Nelson Semedo explained Pereira’s impact in training, saying that the players had learned a lot from as soon as his first day.
While the Portuguese hasn’t had to adapt to a new style of football, his presence at Molineux is already clear, being a figure ready to end Wolves’ below-par spell.
