Wolves may be riding high after a stunning Premier League resurgence, but club icon Steve Bull isn’t letting anyone get carried away—especially not ahead of their crucial clash with Manchester United. In a passionate warning, Bull has urged head coach Vitor Pereira and his red-hot Wolves side to stay razor-sharp and avoid the fatal trap of complacency as they chase a historic fifth consecutive league win.
After a dismal start under Gary O’Neil, Wolves’ transformation under Pereira has been nothing short of remarkable. Molineux is buzzing once again, the relegation threat has evaporated, and the club sits comfortably 14 points above the drop zone with just six games left to play. But Bull has made it crystal clear: this is not the moment to ease off.
“Forget United’s Europa League antics—this is all about Wolves,” Bull thundered in his column for the *Express & Star*. “We’re flying right now, but one bad mindset and we’ll crash. If we relax, we lose. It’s that simple.”
His rallying cry arrives on the back of Wolves’ historic fourth straight win, capped off by a triumphant victory over Spurs. Bull insists that confidence must not be confused with complacency, especially against a vulnerable but still dangerous United side.
“Play like we have, and we can beat anyone. But let your guard down, and it’s over,” Bull warned.
Pereira, to his credit, appears equally determined to keep the foot firmly on the gas. Despite nearing mathematical safety, he’s reportedly refusing to let standards slip, with the aim of not just survival—but progress. With 18 points still up for grabs, the Portuguese boss is pushing his squad to finish strong and climb even higher up the table.
Team news remains uncertain, with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde a doubt, possibly opening the door for Matheus Cunha to return to the starting XI. Should he feature and score, Cunha could etch his name in history as only the third Brazilian to net 15 goals in a Premier League season.
Wolves already stunned United earlier in the season, and with a fired-up Steve Bull sounding the alarm, fans will be hoping for a repeat—minus any hint of complacency.
