Manchester United board is about to sack Ruben Amorim and appoint this world class manager after a poor performance against wolves

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim displayed his admiration for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha during their Premier League match on Sunday. As the players headed into the tunnel at half-time, Amorim was seen affectionately tapping Cunha on the head, suggesting he holds the Brazilian forward in high regard.

Cunha has been linked to a potential move to Manchester United, with his future at Wolves uncertain. Despite the club’s struggles, Cunha has been impressive, scoring 14 goals in 27 Premier League appearances and helping Wolves secure their top-flight status.

The 25-year-old has hinted that he may be open to leaving Wolves, having previously expressed his desire to compete for trophies. Although he rejected approaches in January, preferring to stay with the team during a difficult period, several clubs are now rumored to be interested in signing him.

Manchester United is among the interested teams, with Cunha’s versatility and ability to play in multiple positions making him an attractive prospect. However, if United were to pursue Cunha, they would likely face a significant challenge in negotiating his transfer fee, given his £62.5 million release clause and contract running until 2029.

With Wolves’ Premier League status secure for another season, it’s unlikely that United will be able to negotiate a discounted deal, and they may have to pay the full release clause to secure Cunha’s services. Amorim’s gesture towards Cunha suggests he may be a fan of the player, but whether United’s interest becomes a reality remains to be seen.
