Wolves teenager Mateus Mane has sparked a dramatic turnaround at Molineux, scoring in consecutive Premier League matches and becoming Edwards' most influential player. The 18-year-old's fearless performances have lifted a previously stagnant squad.

Arriving under manager Rob Edwards after Vitor Pereira ignored him completely, Mane quickly became unstoppable. His impact includes match-winning goals against Everton and West Ham, plus standout displays at Old Trafford and Anfield that shifted team momentum.

Mane's arrival coincided with Wolves ending a winless start to 2026. Edwards praised the teenager's leadership qualities despite his age. Fans now chant his name to The Cranberries' Zombie, reflecting how decisively he's altered the club's atmosphere.

With transfer speculation likely given his rapid rise, observers expect continued interest from Europe's elite. Domestic rivals must also prepare for a more confident Wolves side, with Mane central to their renewed belief and tactical flexibility.
