Wolves Visit Manchester United in Premier League Clash Amid Strong Run Under Vitor Pereira
Wolves head to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon to take on Manchester United, riding a wave of momentum under the guidance of Vitor Pereira.
Last weekend’s 4-2 victory over Tottenham marked a milestone for the Portuguese manager, as he became the first in Wolves’ Premier League history to secure four consecutive wins.
That result pushed Wolves further away from the relegation zone. They now sit 14 points clear of 18th-placed Ipswich Town, all but confirming their Premier League status for next season.
Pereira, now focused on the long term, has turned his attention to the summer transfer window. He’s keen to retain his top talents and build on the solid foundation laid during his tenure so far.
In encouraging news for fans, the Wolves boss has shared a positive update on his future at the club.
Pereira Open to Signing New Wolves Contract
Seen by many as the club’s most impactful manager since Nuno Espirito Santo, Pereira has drawn comparisons to the man who led Wolves to back-to-back Europa League campaigns.
Now, fans are wondering whether he’ll commit to a new deal. Molineux News previously reported that contract talks could resume later this year, and Pereira has now spoken publicly on the matter.
“Of course, if I’m happy and the club is happy, it’s only natural I continue my work here,” he told the Express & Star.
“If the club values what we’re building, if I’m satisfied with our progress, and the supporters are behind us – then we have the right conditions to extend my stay.”
However, the 56-year-old made it clear that he’s only interested in staying if the club’s ambitions match his own – moving beyond just top-flight survival.
“If a club is content simply avoiding relegation, and I want to aim higher, then it’s not the right place for me,” he warned.
“I didn’t come to England just to avoid the drop. That was the situation this season, but looking ahead, we must build a strong squad capable of pushing for mid-table and eventually, higher goals.”
Fosun Must Back Pereira This Summer
This summer presents Fosun with a key opportunity to support Pereira – both in keeping key players and strengthening the squad.
Wolves were the Premier League’s second-highest spenders in January, with Emmanuel Agbadou and Marshall Munetsi making notable impacts since joining. But for Pereira’s vision to become reality, sustained investment is needed.
Fosun’s self-sustaining model – relying on transfer profits rather than injecting their own funds – has long been a point of frustration for fans. If the ownership remains reluctant to change their approach, they risk stalling Pereira’s promising project.
Backing their ambitious manager with the right resources will be crucial if Wolves want to move beyond survival and aim for something greater.
