Sharp-eyed Manchester United supporters flooded social media with excitement after Ruben Amorim was spotted chatting with Matheus Cunha—one of United’s key summer transfer targets—during Sunday’s clash with Wolves.
It was another frustrating day for the Red Devils at Old Trafford, where Pablo Sarabia netted a second-half goal to draw the visitors level with Amorim’s struggling squad at 38 points in the Premier League standings. ..Continue Reading
Despite the defeat, fans seemed more focused on the sight of Amorim with his arm around Cunha, a player strongly rumored to be on United’s radar in recent weeks.
A number of United fans were quick to share their thoughts on social media, with some saying that Amorim was ‘tapping up’ the Brazil star. One wrote on X: “Amorim’s literally tapping him up.”
Other people picked up on the interaction, with one social media user writing: “Look how Amorim speeds up to catch up with Cunha and pats him on the head. You can tell he wants him so badly.”
Another said the versatile forward was nailed on to be joining, saying: “He is replacing Alejandro Garnacho in our starting line-up next season.”
Cunha has become a key figure at Wolves since joining the club, attracting significant interest during the January transfer window before ultimately committing to a new contract.
That deal is believed to contain a £62.5 million release clause, with Manchester United reportedly one of several clubs eyeing a potential summer move for the forward.
Although a transfer for Cunha might be on Ruben Amorim’s radar in the near future, he first had to face the media following yet another disappointing result.
When he was asked if it was once again a case of one step forward two steps back for Man United after their triumph in the Europa League quarter-finals in midweek, he responded: “This season is going to end like this so we need to take the positives and work on what we need to improve. We have to look at everything, our squad, what we have to do in the market.
“We will see. We talk every day about next season and with time we will get what we need to improve the team.”
