Wolves news round-up: Vitor Pereira discusses new contract, Matheus Cunha close to making Premier League history, and more

Wolves travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in their next Premier League matchup of the 2024-25 season.

A win on away soil will see Wolves do the league double over Manchester United — something the Old Gold have not managed since the 1979-80 campaign.

Vitor Pereira is in a great position to add to Wolves’ point tally as the side looks for just five more points to guarantee their top-flight survival.
