WOLVES FORWARD MATHEUS CUNHA IS SAID TO BE A LONG-STANDING TRANSFER TARGET FOR MANCHESTER UNITED WHO ARE LOOKING TO PRIZE HIM AWAY FROM THE MOLINEUX THIS SUMMER 14:44, 31 May 2025 Manchester

United fans were left intrigued by the prospect of Matheus Cunha's transfer after seeing the Wolves star engaged in a conversation with Ruben Amorim, fuelling speculation about his

potential move to Old Trafford. The interaction took place during United's 1-0 Premier League defeat at home against Wolves last month, which saw Pablo Sarabia score from a second-half

free-kick. Amorim was spotted with his arm around the forward as they headed towards the tunnel amidst United's disappointing setback. Cunha, 26, is reportedly on United's radar

for a summer switch and had played a notable part in the match just before the candid exchange with Amorim. A report from The Athletic claimed that United had proposed to Wolves a spread

payment over five years for Cunha’s £62.5million ($84.4m) release clause. However, it is understood that Wolves expect the fee to be paid within a two-year span, as per the contract

stipulations. Despite the unfortunate result which marked United's eighth home league loss of the campaign, the brief encounter between Cunha and Amorim gave some fans a reason to feel

hopeful. Social media erupted with reactions, including a United fan humorously suggesting that Amorim was "tapping up" the Brazilian forward by commenting: "Amorim's

literally tapping him up." Article continues below Even though their chat was likely not related to a potential move, that didn't stop supporters from concluding that Cunha was set

to become part of the Portuguese manager's squad this coming summer, reports the Mirror. One fan expressed their thoughts on social media, saying: "He is replacing Alejandro

Garnacho in our starting line-up next season." Meanwhile, the future of the young Argentine sensation has been subject to speculation, with Chelsea and Napoli showing interest in

January. Following the Europa League final loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Amorim, known for his straightforward approach, reportedly told the 20-year-old to seek a new team this summer,

according to The Athletic. Article continues below United star Amad shared his wishes to keep Garnacho as his team-mate during United's post-season tour of Asia, despite indications

that the Madrid-born player might have to say farewell to Manchester based on his boss's directives. Commenting on the winger's situation, the Ivorian said: "Alejandro is a

really good player and we need good players in the team. I know Garna really well, so I hope to have Garna next season. It is not really a big issue for the team. Everything is good now, I

think."
