Wolves manager Vitor Pereira is facing a tough battle to keep hold of his star player Matheus Cunha, with interest building ahead of the January transfer window following an impressive display against Manchester United on Boxing Day.
Despite Wolves’ struggles this season, Cunha, at the age of 25, has managed to score 10 goals and provide four assists, showcasing his talent on the field.
With rumors of Manchester United and Arsenal eyeing Cunha ahead of their upcoming match against Tottenham, Pereira admitted, “I hope he stays with us for a long time, but as a special player he will definitely have opportunities elsewhere in his career.”
Pereira praised Cunha not just for his technical skills but also for his personality, highlighting his ability to create magic out of challenging situations.
The Wolves boss firmly believes that the key to retaining top talent like Cunha lies in giving players the freedom to express themselves on the field.
Recent victories over teams like Leicester and Manchester United have provided a much-needed uplift to the team and instilled confidence among the players, pushing them further away from relegation concerns.
Cunha also acknowledged the positive impact of Pereira’s arrival, mentioning how the new manager’s energy and motivation have revitalized the team and brought them closer together.
While Mario Lemina is expected to return from injury, Pablo Sarabia might remain sidelined dealing with a similar issue, further highlighting the challenges Pereira and Wolves are currently facing.
