Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim has showered Wolves forward Matheus Cunha with praise amid growing speculation linking the Brazilian with a move to Manchester United.
The 24-year-old has been in scintillating form for Wolves this season, catching the eye of several top clubs across Europe. Amorim, who has been widely linked with managerial roles in the Premier League, described Cunha as a 'special talent' with 'unmatched versatility'.
Amorim's Glowing Endorsement
'Matheus is the kind of player who can change a game in an instant,' Amorim told reporters. 'His ability to play across the front line, his work rate, and his technical quality make him a nightmare for defenders.'
The Sporting boss, who has previously been touted as a potential successor to Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, stopped short of confirming any interest from United but acknowledged Cunha's Premier League pedigree.
Manchester United's Striker Search
With Anthony Martial's future uncertain and Rasmus Højlund still adapting to English football, United are reportedly keen to bolster their attacking options. Cunha's adaptability and Premier League experience make him an attractive target.
The former Atlético Madrid man has contributed 12 goals and 7 assists in all competitions this season, emerging as one of Wolves' most consistent performers under Gary O'Neil.
What Makes Cunha Special?
- Versatility to play across front three
- Combination of physicality and technical ability
- Proven Premier League quality
- Still only 24 with room for development
While Wolves would be reluctant to lose their star man, financial fair play considerations might force them to consider substantial offers. With Amorim's comments adding fuel to the fire, this transfer saga looks set to rumble on through the summer.
