Wolves boss Vitor Pereira insists Matheus Cunha remains committed to the club amid reports he is set to join Manchester United at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move away from Molineux, with the Red Devils reportedly admirers of the Brazilian forward.
Wolves were in a battle for Premier League survival until a month ago and Cunha has been a vital part of Pereira's side, contributing 15 goals and six assists to help steer them clear of relegation trouble.
Reports on Monday indicated Cunha was set to move to Old Trafford at the end of the season, but Pereira said he has no further information and the player is happy at Wolves.
He said: "I have the same information as you. I don’t know. I just know he’s my player.
"He’s committed with the team, he’s working with happiness and we will see what happens. You must ask him. He is happy. I feel he is happy."
Wolves’ next game is against [FA Cup winners Crystal Palace](https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2025/0517/1513450-palace-shock-manchester-city-to-win-first-ever-fa-cup/) on Tuesday, aiming to end a run of two consecutive defeats.
Palace will be on a high after Eberechi Eze’s first-half goal against Manchester City at Wembley earned the Eagles their first major trophy.
Matheus Cunha could link up with Ruben Amorim, according to reports
Pereira congratulated Oliver Glasner’s side and said their achievement was "good for football".
He added: "I want to congratulate them because it’s a huge achievement and is good for football when the small beats the big club.
"This is competition, they are a very consistent team, good players, good manager and we’ll face a strong team but looking for our game, our play, this is the way we prepared for the game.
"We will try to improve from the last game."
Pereira’s work in turning Wolves’ season around has not gone unnoticed after he won the Premier League manager of the month award for April, while he is one of five bosses nominated for the manager of the season honour.
Wolves were five points from safety when he took over and are now up to 14th in the table, having secured their top-flight status a few weeks ago.
