On his official X account, he wrote: “Manchester United are leading the race to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves as negotiations are ongoing.

“Good feelings after initial contacts between Cunha and #MUFC.”

On Wednesday, the Brazilian forward took to his official Instagram account to respond to the swirling rumors.
Sharing a picture of himself working in the gym, he wrote: “Let’s work, shall we? Too much conversation.”
Manager Vitor Pereira was asked about Cunha’s future this month and admitted he is unsure as to whether the 25-year-old will remain with Wolves next campaign.
“Next season, I don’t know,” he said.
“The focus is the next game, the next game. The focus is the team and Matheus makes part of the team, not for this game but my focus is my team.
“In the summer, we will see what happens but in my opinion, it’s normal that a player with his potential has ambition.”
Matheus Cunha is set to return to the pitch for Wolves on Saturday as they welcome Leicester City to Molineux.
Despite having a contract with the club that runs until 2029, reports suggest that the Brazilian forward agreed to the terms with the understanding that he could pursue a fresh challenge during the upcoming summer transfer window.
