Wolves star Matheus Cunha praised Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim as his summer transfer to the Manchester club draws near. Amorim has endured a horrible start to his tenure with Man United, but enjoys the complete trust of the club.
The Red Devils finished the last season in 16th position in the Premier League, also losing the Carabao Cup final. The senior team’s inability to adjust to Amorim’s tactical style of play acted as a mitigating factor for the Portuguese.
United have to use the summer transfer window to back the former Sporting CP manager, kickstarting his project next season. However, the Red Devils are facing a lot of financial issues, limiting their transfer budget and forcing them to sell.

Nevertheless, Amorim has prioritised the attacking department by signing Wolves star Cunha immediately for United during the summer transfer window. The Red Devils have triggered the £62.5 million release clause for the Brazilian, pending legal formalities to confirm the deal.
Speaking to CBS Brasil (via Daily Mail), Cunha praised Amorim and backed the United boss to succeed at the club. He said:
Talking about him is easy. I think he’s a great coach, and I wish him nothing but the best. I hope he conquers the World as he did Portugal”
The 26-year-old made 36 appearances for Wolves last season, contributing 17 goals and providing six assists for his club. The failure of the attacking department has played a big factor in United’s disastrous season.
Former manager Erik ten Hag signed Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee during his tenure, as both failed to perform consistently. United are signing a Premier League-proven player in Cunha, who comes with a lesser risk factors compared to previous signings.

Furthermore, the Brazil international has the ability to play in multiple attacking positions, something that Amorim will use. The Red Devils could sign another number nine to play Cunha behind the main striker, or on the wings. Rest assured, United have started the summer window strongly, giving hope to their fanbase as they intend to put the past failures behind them.
