Jimenez, Wolves’ summer signing from Benfica, has been one of the most impressive players in the Premier League so far this season. He already has 12 goals and 7 assists to his name, and those numbers should go further up in the coming matches.

He was very impressive last night and troubled the United defenders a lot with his incisive runs and intelligent passing. His pass to Diogo led to the opening goal for Wolves. He was also involved in the second goal as Smalling failed to clear his header from inside the box and ended up scoring an own goal.

Jimenez looked like a proper No. 9 with his predatory movements inside the final third as he always looked to trouble the United defenders. His signing now seems to be the best bit of summer business by Wolves, who are one of the most attractive teams to watch in the Premier League this season.
