Manchester United is said to be interested in Matheus Cunha after the forward’s impressive performance at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

As per recent rumors, Manchester United is observing Cunha’s development and may pursue him in the future. The striker has netted seven goals and assisted three times in 13 Premier League matches this season, impressing Ruben Amorim and United’s scouting team.

Wolves are ‘aware’ of the increasing interest in their star, who can operate as a center forward, central attacking midfielder, or left winger, but will turn down any January bids for him.

He remarked, “It’s a great honor to have my name linked with Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs globally.
