Manchester United fans will have one eye on Wolves’ matches for the rest of the season to watch potential transfer target Matheus Cunha in action.
Man Utd’s links to Matheus Cunha developed rapidly to the point where the deal is already considered ‘advanced’, with United clear leaders.
Ruben Amorim has refused to comment on Cunha but it’s increasingly looking like an open secret, a matter of when, and not if.
After watching Cunha against Leicester in Wolves’ latest game, Man Utd fans are in total agreement with panic setting in the fanbase.
Man Utd fans on Matheus Cunha vs Leicester
Every Man Utd fan who was watching to see how Cunha does in the first game since the links to the club became concrete wouldn’t have been disappointed.
The Brazilian ran the show for Wolves against Leicester, scoring once and assisting the other two in a comprehensive 3-0 win that had him at his talismanic best.
He ran the Leicester defence ragged with his passing, finishing, and off-the-ball movement in the left-sided No. 10 that is waiting for him at Old Trafford.
Fans watching Cunha tear apart Leicester all had one panic – seal the deal as soon as possible by waking up before other teams start jumping into the sweepstakes after watching that majestic display.
“He’s now playing to wake us up and seal the deal asap!,” said one, as another agreed, “The deal needs to be completed as soon as possible.”
A third said, “Get him in right now, come to United already bro,” as a fourth was ready to get carried away, “Manchester United have got the best Brazilian to ever play in the PL.”
“I’ll drive him to Manchester myself, what a baller, can’t do no hijacking,” said a fifth, as another rued the current options in contrast, “I actually thought about Garnacho in that situation and started crying.”
A seventh fan summed up the sentiment, “Absolute baller, let’s hope he doesn’t turn into another flop when he joins!”
Matheus Cunha will be a great addition but he can’t be the answer
As the final sentiment says, Cunha will be an amazing addition if and when it happens but by no means should he be looked at as the saviour of this club.
That is evidenced by the club looking to sign Liam Delap as well in a complete overhaul of the attacking structure.
Cunha is a plug-and-play signing with no asterisks, at least when it comes to his playing qualities, which is rare for a signing in this day and age.
He has Premier League pedigree, plays in a 3-4-3, will come into a dressing room full of Portuguese speakers, and will be one of the main creators of the side.
If he can replicate this Leicester display for United next season, he’ll turn into a fan favourite soon. He’s already halfway there by doing it for Wolves while he’s just linked to United!
