The upcoming Wolves’ pre-season will focus on adjusting to life without Matheus Cunha in the team. Cunha’s departure to Manchester United was met with mixed emotions, as his desire to leave was known even before the end of the previous season. Despite this, Cunha’s legacy at Wolves was somewhat tarnished by his public admission of wanting to move on.
However, Vitor Pereira’s squad has shown that they are capable of thriving without Cunha, something they must continue to do in the long term. One player who has especially benefitted from Cunha’s absence is Jorgen Strand Larsen, who has excelled as the focal point in attack.
Following Cunha’s departure, Strand Larsen has shown great form in pre-season, with reports indicating that he looks more confident and lively without his former teammate. Despite expressing his enjoyment of playing with Cunha, Strand Larsen’s performance statistics speak volumes about his success without him.
Alan Shearer even commented on Strand Larsen’s improved play without Cunha, highlighting the Norwegian forward’s scoring prowess. As Wolves prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes are on Strand Larsen, who is not only a force on the field but also emerging as a leader within the team.
With Cunha now at Manchester United, Wolves are looking to Strand Larsen to step up and take charge in the attack. As he continues to impress in pre-season, it’s clear that the absence of Cunha has opened up new opportunities for Strand Larsen to shine and lead the team to success.
