The winter signing scored two goals in 14 Premier League games but played a big role in Wolves surviving relegation due to his tireless work ethic and relationship with striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Coming from French football, the Zimbabwe international has been impressed by the standard of the English top flight and insists there is more to come next campaign.

"I think it's hard because every game is not easy, even if you're going to play Southampton, Crystal Palace, Manchester United," Munetsi said when asked about the Premier League compares to Ligue 1.

"Each and every weekend there's always a tough opponent, so you can never really say we're going to relax today.

"This is something that makes it the best league in the world and it's the best for a reason.

"You get quality players in every team, so it's been really good for me to get this challenge and obviously now I know more about how everything is done here and I think for the next year I will do better.

"When you start with a team from a clean slate, it's also important and I think it gives the manager and all of us the time to get to know each other even more.

"I'm really looking forward to pre-season but to enjoy the holiday also.

Head coach Vitor Pereira showed great faith in Munetsi, even when he was getting mixed reviews from fans and the 28-year-old is grateful for that.

"It's something that as players we don't take for granted," Munetsi added.

"If the manager has a system that also helps players be better, helps players help each other to win the games, I think this is something that we've found, especially with how we're lining up in front and lining up at the back and also considering the new players that came.

"It's also something that you give the manager, you have to also show him that when he's needing you, you have to raise up your hand."

Despite facing some criticism, Munetsi is also thankful to the Wolves fans for their support as the team dragged themselves away from relegation trouble.

"I just want to thank them first for giving us the energy, especially when we're playing at home," Munetsi said.

"Even away, it didn't really feel like we're away most of the games.

"And to give us the same energy that they were giving us and I think we also have to do our part."
