Following the win, Fernandes spoke to United’s in-house television where he stated that he knew the 27-year-old Frenchman would score in the all-important clash.

"I knew he [Martial] was going to score today because he had his haircut with our barber,” Fernandes said, according to Fotmob.

Anthony Martial opened the scoring against Wolves.

“Every time he gets his haircut with him, he gets his goal. So, I will call him [the barber] every time now to go the day before the game to cut his hair because we need this Anthony.”

“We need the Anthony that scores goals, that gives us a lot of quality on the ball and creates a lot of space for others,’’ he added.

“We did our job properly, and that’s why we got the three points. They [Wolves] are a really smart team, they defend really well. They are compact, it’s difficult to go through their lines. They have quality on the ball.”
