Recent reports have linked Wolves star Matheus Cunha with a possible move to Manchester United.
The Brazilian forward has caught the attention of the Red Devils ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window, with scouts closely monitoring his performances throughout the 2023/24 season. Manchester United’s interest in Cunha peaked after his standout display against them in the season opener, putting him on their radar.
Cunha, who joined Wolves from Atletico Madrid for a fee that could reach £35 million, had a breakout season in the Premier League. The 24-year-old forward scored 14 goals and provided eight assists, totaling a career-best 22 goal involvements.
Speculation surrounding a potential move to a bigger club arose due to his impressive form, and Manchester United’s need for attacking reinforcements further fueled these rumors. With Anthony Martial set to leave at the end of the season, United is seeking new striking options and currently relies on Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford.
Wolves star Matheus Cunha responds to Manchester United rumours
Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte recently featured a report on Cunha’s reaction to the transfer rumors.
Cunha acknowledged the interest but reiterated his dedication to Wolves. He stated, “Whenever I can, I come to accompany you. I always want to show that [the affection] is reciprocal. Then we see this rush [Manchester United]. But I’m very happy at Wolves. My focus is on resting and making the most of it with my family. I’m very happy at Wolves. The focus now is to have better seasons and help the club.”
Despite Cunha’s contentment at Wolves, the allure of Manchester United remains strong. The Premier League giants are reportedly willing to double his current £60,000-a-week wage to secure his services at Old Trafford. This financial offer, coupled with the opportunity to play for one of England’s most illustrious clubs, presents a tempting prospect for Cunha.
