Manchester United transfer target Matheus Cunha seemed to say goodbye to Wolverhampton Wandererers after their final game of the season against Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
Wolves drew 1-1 at Molineux against the Bees with Marshall Munetsi cancelling out Bryan Mbeumo's opener. The draw and win for United against Aston Villa means Vitor Perreira's men have finished 16th in the Premier League.
Reports have suggested that Cunha is closing in on a move to United with the MEN reporting at the end of last month that the 25-year-old is hopeful of joining Ruben Amorim's men.
Strengthening the United boss' forward options is the priority this summer and Cunha's £62.5million release clause is expected to be triggered. On Sunday, while United beat Champions League hopefuls Aston Villa, Cunha played the entirety of Wolves' draw against Brentford.
Post-match, the Wolves team conducted their traditional guard of honour around the pitch as a show of appreciation to the supporters. A video on X, formerly Twitter, emerged showing Cunha approaching the South Bank of Molineux to share a moment with the fans via journalist Nathan Judah.
As the home supporters sang his name, Cunha looked as though he was saying goodbye. United will now travel to Asia for a post-season tour to play two games before pursuing their transfer targets.
It remains to be seen whether Cunha will still be at Molineux for the start of next season or not with speculation increasing over a month to Old Trafford. Arsenal are also keen on signing the former Atletico Madrid star but United remain favourites to land him.
