Wolves forward Matheus Cunha.
Matheus Cunha has posted to social media following news that Gary O'Neil has been sacked as Wolves boss
Wolves star Matheus Cunha has posted on social media after Saturday's late defeat to Ipswich Town. It was a result that saw Gary O'Neil sacked as manager with the news emerging on Sunday morning.
Pressure has been mounting on the 41-year-old after a poor start to the season sees them sitting in the bottom three. The dramatic 2-1 defeat left Wolves 19th in the Premier League table as Cunha's second-half effort couldn't spark a comeback.
Unsavoury scenes at Molineux following the full-time whistle saw the Brazilian involved in an altercation with a member of the Tractor Boys backroom staff with reports suggesting that the incident could see the 25-year-old come under investigation from the Football Association (FA).

Taking to social media on Sunday morning, Cunha shared a wordless post to his Instagram story with statistics of his goal involvements in the English top-flight this season. However, there was no mention of the news that the tactician had lost his job at WV1, with the post coming at a similar time the reports emerged.
News of O'Neil's sacking has yet to be officially confirmed by the club but already a host of replacements are being tipped with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and David Moyes linked.
"That group need me to get them in a place where they're ready to go and I'll keep fighting for them," O'Neil told Sky Sports. "And that doesn't mean I'm not going to get sacked.
"For every result, the chances of me losing my job will heighten, that's nothing new - it doesn't concern me. When I speak to Matt [Hobbs, sporting director] and Jeff [Shi, chairman], they'll tell me I'll need to do more otherwise they'll replace me.
"That's the same message for the players, you need to do more to compete at this level or you'll get replaced. That's how the business works.
"I'm not interested in my own position - I know the work I do every day and I know the situation we're in. To get this group to perform the way they did took a lot of work today.
"People can point the finger at me but some of the responsibilities have to land on the players in those moments. When we get in good positions and we spoon the ball off the pitch - I can't help them with that."
