Wolves manager Vitor Pereira believes Matheus Cunha is “a special player” who “will have opportunities in his career,” as interest in the Brazil forward grows. Cunha scored and assisted in Wolves’ 2-0 victory over Manchester United, and Pereira stated: “I hope he stays with us for a long time, but I understand that as a wonderful player, he will undoubtedly have possibilities in his future. “It’s about his personality as much as his technique. He is remarkable because he can take the ball under pressure and create magic out of nothing.

“It was magic what he did [against United].” Cunha’s goal was his 10th in the Premier League this season, only two short of the 12 he scored in the entire previous season. As a result, his boss has no intention of letting the striker go. “No, of course I do not want him to be sold in January,” Pereira stated.
