Amorim believes that the player, who has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea, would be a valuable addition to Manchester United.

According to recent reports, Ruben Amorim, the manager of Manchester United, has been presented with a promising opportunity to strengthen his team by signing Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian player has been on the radar of top clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea. However, he has recently extended his contract with Wolves until the end of the season.

Since his arrival in 2023, Cunha has been a standout performer for the Midlands club, scoring 14 goals last season. This year, he is on track to surpass that number despite Wolves' struggle to maintain their position in the Premier League. With their recent victory over Aston Villa, the team is currently in a difficult relegation battle.

Given the club's current situation and Cunha's long-term admirers like Arsenal, it was rumored that the player was eager to leave Wolves. But to the surprise of many, Wolves confirmed that Cunha had signed a new deal with the team. Although there is a release clause in the contract that could potentially be activated by other clubs.

According to sources, Manchester United had already shortlisted Cunha as a potential target before he signed the new deal with Wolves. Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson believes that Cunha would have been a valuable addition to Amorim's squad. In an interview with Paddy Power, the former Match of the Day pundit stated that Cunha is a top player and would undoubtedly enhance Manchester United's performance.

Lawrenson also added that although Wolves would not want to sell their star player, there is always a possibility of players finding a way out. This is especially true for a team that has already lost many key players in the previous transfer window. He also mentioned that there are several teams interested in signing Cunha, but it remains to be seen if he will actually leave Wolves.

Lawrenson believes that Manchester United has a handful of exceptional players, but the rest of the squad is not up to the mark. He also criticized the club's management for their recent decision to cut jobs despite having wealthy owners. According to him, this sends out a negative message and creates a toxic environment within the club.

Cunha's celebration after Wolves' win over Aston Villa hinted that he will remain with the team for now. When asked about his decision to extend his contract, the player expressed his love for the club and its fans. He stated that he is happy at Wolves and is determined to give his best on the field for the team and its supporters.

However, Manchester United's inconsistency under Amorim was highlighted once again as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Crystal Palace on Sunday. With the competition in the Premier League getting stronger every year, it is essential for clubs to spend wisely and bring in talented players. Whether or not Cunha will eventually join one of the top clubs remains to be seen, but for now, he is committed to Wolves and their fight to remain in the Premier League.
