Matheus Cunha’s future remains uncertain, amid growing speculation of a potential move to Manchester United, but his father may have just dropped the biggest hint yet.
During a birthday gathering, Wolves star Cunha, his father Carmelo, Joao Gomes, Andre and Pedro Lima, were all pictured together. Carmelo, who took to social media platform Instagram to share that occasion, wrote: “Relaxed moment at Pedrinho Gomes’ first birthday in Wolverhampton, UK.”
One of the top-liked comments on the post read, “Welcome to United,” and it even received a ‘like’ from Carmelo himself – fuelling speculation over Cunha’s next destination.
The Manchester Evening News understands that Cunha is seen as a major target for head coach Ruben Amorim, despite the £62.5million release clause attached to his contract. The Brazil forward, who signed a new long-term deal in February, is still expected to depart Wolves this summer.

Wolves have shown a willingness to sell key players in recent seasons to stay compliant with the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs). According to some reports, Vitor Pereira’s side may be approaching the financial threshold for the current accounting period – although that is not confirmed.
Speaking about the transfer rumours, Wolves head coach Pereira said that his team will kick on next season “with or without” the 13-cap Brazil international.
“I hope we can do good work together, because to move forward and to make the next step, we don’t need millions and millions, we need to have intelligence, to find players with the profile that we need,” Pereira said.
“If we find the right players and we create the right spirit in the small town with these people, it’s easier. The club will move forward to build a strong team, for sure – with Cunha or without Cunha. You cannot build a club around one player.”
