Matheus Cunha aims for titles with Manchester United after Wolves breakthrough season

Matheus Cunha has emerged as Wolves' key attacking force, recording a career-best 15 Premier League goals and 21 goal involvements this season. With 27 goals in 65 league appearances since 2023, Cunha ranks among the Premier League's top attackers, contributing to nearly 28% of Wolves' goals.

Despite Wolves' struggles and no European football next season, Cunha sees a move to Manchester United as a chance to "fight for titles, for big things," emphasizing his ambition to take the next step in his career.

"I've made it clear that I need to take the next step," Cunha said in March.

His creativity, sharp finishing, and ability to unpick defenses have made him Wolves' attacking heartbeat. Cunha's style fits seamlessly into Manchester United's 3-4-2-1 system under Rúben Amorim, mirroring Wolves' formations under Gary O'Neil and Vítor Pereira.

"Cunha has already spent much of this season playing in a similar setup," easing his transition to United.

While some at Wolves have questioned his attitude after on-field incidents, United values Cunha's experience and instant impact potential. His average of 8.8 meters carrying the ball forward per run highlights his dynamic play.

With 39 non-penalty goal involvements in 65 appearances, Cunha ranks behind only seven Premier League players for attacking output since 2023, making him a significant acquisition for Manchester United's ambitions.

Matheus Cunha, Wolves' standout attacker with 27 goals in 65 Premier League games, aims to win titles at Manchester United. Despite Wolves' struggles, Cunha views United as a big club and a step forward, fitting well into their 3-4-2-1 system and expected to make an instant impact.
