Ex-EPL star praises Munetsi - 'Amazing to see'

Following Marshall Munetsi's Premier League debut against Liverpool, a former Wolverhampton Wanderers star has delivered his verdict on the Zimbabwean. 

Wolves suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to the Reds at Anfield but during the game, the former Orlando Pirates star made his much-anticipated debut after coming on as a substitute.

Interestingly, Munetsi was deployed in a more advanced role than usual, and the tactical tweak nearly paid off as the 28-year-old found himself with two decent chances to score.

Despite his more known abilities as a box-to-box midfielder, Wolves boss Vítor Pereira pushed the Zimbabwean further forward, a move that impressed former Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards. 

"Marshall Munetsi was key to that improved second half," Edwards said on the Wolves Unpacked podcast per Molineux News.  

"Playing as a number 9 was pretty amazing to see in the absence of [Jorgen Strand] Larsen and Hwang Hee-Chan.

"To be as accomplished as he is — he does look like a proper striker in everything he does." 

With his solid display, there are now growing calls for Munetsi to start in Wolves' next clash against Bournemouth on Saturday.

The former Ligue 1 star will be looking to help Pereira's side move away from the relegation as, at the moment, just two points separate the side from 18th-placed Ipswich Town.
