Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Matheus Cunha has been one of the most sought-after players over the past two seasons in the Premier League. Entering a fine form for the Wolves since the start of 2023, the Brazilian has caught the attention of several clubs over the summer.

Being Wolves’ highest scorer (14) in the league, the Brazilian has scored every 160 minutes this season. Moreover, having 20 G/A as of April, he has surpassed his last season’s tally already. With Cunha being speculated to be on the market in the summer, many clubs will be expected to come knocking for the 25-year-old.

Unlike players we have seen before that have joined them for crazy money in the recent past, Matheus Cunha is the only player who isn’t downgrading. Moving from 15th to 14th place team is an upgrade. They’re actually a perfect fit for each other. pic.twitter.com/KhFS2OA7y1

Ruben Amorim has suffered in the midfield through injuries to Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, and Christian Eriksen this season. Wanting to add depth and dynamics to his side, the addition of Cunha could impact their style of play positively.

Cunha has been in elite form, competing with some of the top players in the Premier League. Being the third-highest-rated player (7.61) as per SofaScore, he is just behind the likes of Mo Salah and Cole Palmer on the list.

Manchester United, lacking a complete midfielder in their squad, has scouted a perfect candidate to fill in the void. Amorim and his side managing to acquire Cunha could be one of the solutions to their brittle midfield given the Brazilian’s attributes.
