Wolves fans reacted in anger after Matheus Cunha’s recent deleted Instagram post caused controversy over his future.

Cunha has been a standout performer this season, scoring 15 goals and providing four assists in what has been a tough campaign for Wolves as they look to avoid relegation.

His efforts haven’t gone unnoticed, with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool all monitoring his situation.

Cunha was strongly linked with a move away in January, but ultimately chose to stay, insisting he didn’t want to walk away while the club were in a difficult position. That loyalty earned him praise at the time, but speculation around a summer transfer has only intensified.

Recent reports claim Cunha’s agent has held talks with Manchester United, leading their fans to believe a deal could be close.

In the midst of all this, the striker shared a cryptic message on social media—one that was quickly deleted—sparking frustration among Wolves supporters who interpreted it as a sign he’s preparing to leave.

Cunha sparked controversy after sharing, and then swiftly deleting, a message on Instagram that read: “Time to be happy. I will follow my dreams, not yours… so stay cool.”

Cunha later attempted to ease tensions with Wolves fans by posting a training update, but many supporters were left unimpressed by the initial post, viewing it as a clear hint that he may be angling for a summer move.

Cunha’s professionalism has previously been questioned, with pundit Clinton Morrison among those critical of his attitude. This latest episode only adds to concerns surrounding the Brazilian, who has found himself in the spotlight for the wrong reasons more than once this season.

He has missed five games through suspension, including after a Cunha’s altercation with Milos Kerkez following Wolves’ FA Cup fifth-round clash against Bournemouth, an incident that saw him sent off for violent conduct after the final whistle.

For Wolves supporters, the latest social media drama is yet another unwelcome distraction.

Despite signing a new contract as recently as February, it includes a £62.5 million release clause and speculation over Cunha’s future has continued to grow.

The constant rumours and cryptic messaging have pushed many fans to breaking point. One supporter commented: “Don’t want the clown anywhere near the team, while another added: “Get him out the football club, I’m sick of him.”

Whether Cunha remains at Molineux beyond the summer remains to be seen, but his latest antics have done little to reassure Wolves fans.
