Wolverhampton secured their Premier League spot with a hard-fought win at Old Trafford against Manchester United, managed by Ruben Amorim. This marks their fifth straight win in the competition. After the match, Vítor Pereira was upbeat despite the team’s lackluster display. “It’s not easy to play here, but we got a good result. We didn’t play our best game. We know we can do better technically and tactically. We played with heart and spirit, and that’s what I saw today. Our fans believed in us, and when we got a chance, we scored.”
Pereira praised the game’s lone goal scorer, a former Sporting player, saying, “I’m really happy with Pablo Sarabia. He has talent, but his character is even more important. He believes in himself and has a lot of character. I like him as a player and a person. He works hard on his free kicks.” Pereira also revealed that José Sá injured himself during warm-ups, and Dan Bentley stepped in to play well under pressure. “I want to mention Dan Bentley. José Sá had an issue during warm-ups, and Bentley played really well with a lot of character. Our fans believed in the team, and I’m very happy. Bentley prepared for a long time. He wanted to play and got the chance. He works hard to be ready for situations like this, and he helped us.”
The team now looks to the future, with Pereira saying, “We have a good squad. When we arrived, confidence wasn’t high, but we started to build it, and the results have helped. We’re building something good for the future. We need to go into the next game believing, and with our fans, we can do it.”

Sarabia also spoke after the match, saying, “It’s a great win. We’re all very happy with today’s result, and I’m happy too. I’m thrilled for myself and my team. We’re fighting in every game. We’re trying to give our best, and we’re getting better. It was a tough season for us, but we’re enjoying it now.” Sarabia praised Pereira, saying, “I think this team needed a change. With Vítor, something changed. The most important thing is that the players are very happy on the pitch, and that’s why we can give our best.”
