Bruno Fernandes could not inspire to Manchester United to victory on a promising debut as the Premier League clash with Wolves ended goalless and without a widely discussed Old Trafford protest. The executive vice-chairman was not in attendance for Fernandes’ capable debut on Saturday evening, when a planned 68th minute anti-Glazer protest failed to come to fruition as United and Wolves fought out a 0-0 draw. Wolves started the brighter, with Andreas Pereira’s strike wide the best the hosts could muster early on. Fernandes looked United’s best hope of unlocking the visitors’ backline, as well as their biggest goal threat. The Wolves goalkeeper parried a thumping, long-range Fernandes effort as the clock ticked into the 68th minute, when very few seats appeared to empty despite the much-mooted protest.
