‘Matheus Cunha has played his last Wolves match as Man United offer accepted’ – fans rage
Matheus Cunha’s potential move to Manchester United has left Wolves fans keen to see the back of him at Molineux.
Cunha has been the key man for Wolves this season with 14 Premier League goals and four assists for Vitor Pereira’s side, who sealed their top-flight safety on Sunday with a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.
Wolves moved level on points with Man United in 14th as a result and have scored 10 more goals than Ruben Amorim’s team, with the Red Devils manager keen to add Cunha to his squad for next season.
Pereira was without Cunha for five games after his suspension for a post-match incident with an Ipswich staff member after a 2-1 loss in December, but he’s still been able to steer Wolves clear of the drop zone.
Matheus Cunha makes contact ahead of Man United move
Man United are far from the only Premier League big-hitter keen on a deal for Cunha this summer, with Champions League-bound duo Arsenal and Nottingham Forest also in the hunt to sign the Brazilian.
However, the Red Devils are the front-runners to secure a deal for the 25-year-old, and Stefan Borson exclusively told Football Insider that Cunha’s £62.5million release clause is still affordable for a cash-strapped Man United.

| Matheus Cunha | 31 | 27 | 16 | 4 | 2/1 |
On 21 April, Fabrizio Romano reported via X that Cunha and Man United officials have already discussed personal terms for a move to Old Trafford, with “good feelings” between the two parties after their initial negotiations.

Wolves fans want Matheus Cunha dropped – ‘Better without him’
The Molineux faithful are already convinced that Cunha’s head was turned towards Old Trafford some time ago, and as a result it’s no surprise for them to learn that his move to Man United has edged closer.
With just five matches left to play this season and several clubs able to pay his £62.5m release clause, Wolves supporters were unified in their view that Cunha should be left out for the rest of the campaign.
Man United only being above Wolves in the Premier League table was also laughably ironic for some fans, and several argued Cunha is only after the money and profile of being on the books at Old Trafford.
As we are now safe, is it worth dropping cunha completely as he isn’t interested in playing for us just wants the move to Man U? Got no time for us so why play him anymore #wolves #manunited

At this point let Cunha go

We know Cunha is leaving in the summer, but it needs to be on our terms. Accepting a flexible deal from United is not what we need #wolves #wwfc

It’s funny that we as Wolves fans won’t be sad to lose Cunha 😂

But he’ll get more money and the attention he craves so fair play, good luck https://t.co/1v5fXImcM1
Negotiating a deal when we still have 5 games to play btw. Him and his agent just couldn’t wait for the season to end yeah? Sound.

Wolves are better without Cunha

Cunha’s dream is probably to play for whoever will pay him the most in the PL. His antics at Wolves this season should make any managers/head coaches worth their salt, think twice about how he will impact the dressing room dynamic.

This isn’t the United of old.

I get Matheus wants to test himself at a ‘big club’ but IMO any gravitas towards this club would be a sideward step.
They certainly aren’t challengers and if they were a top 4 club, let’s be honest ….the interest wouldn’t be there. https://t.co/pqugrthkwc
Brother look at the wolves fan say about cunha he’s a hot head that mostly plays for himself the amount of disciplinary issues and suspensions he’s had this season is crazy for a attacker
