“History Beckons: Vítor Pereira One Win Away from Achieving What No Wolves Boss Has Done in 45 Years!”
Wolverhampton Wanderers are riding a wave of momentum as they gear up for a crucial clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford this Sunday. Fresh off a thrilling 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, the team has now strung together four consecutive Premier League wins—an unprecedented feat in the club’s top-flight history.
Now, with another three points on the line, Wolves have their sights set on an even greater milestone. Should they defeat the Red Devils once more, Vítor Pereira would become the first manager since the 1979-80 season to lead the Old Gold to a league double over Manchester United. That historic season saw Wolves triumph 3-1 at Molineux and follow it up with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford—an achievement that’s eluded every Wolves side since.
Sunday’s match offers more than just a shot at bragging rights. A fifth straight league victory would see Wolves draw level on points with Manchester United—both sitting on 38—a remarkable turnaround given the club’s turbulent start to the campaign.
Pereira’s impact has sparked a resurgence in belief among the Wolves faithful, with the team showing signs of long-term promise under his stewardship. Meanwhile, things continue to unravel for Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, who have looked a shadow of their former selves. With inconsistent performances and lackluster results, some pundits have gone as far as to suggest that—were it not for the struggles of teams like Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton—the Red Devils could be dangerously close to the relegation zone.
As the two sides prepare to face off once again, all eyes will be on Pereira and his high-flying Wolves. Can he etch his name into club folklore and deliver a long-awaited double over the 20-time English champions?
