Wolves talisman Matheus Cunha appears to be playing out his final games for the club.
Wolves have just five Premier League matches remaining, but planning is already underway for next season.
Vitor Pereira has suggested he’ll make changes for Wolves and try different things, an one wonders how much Cunha will feature from now until the end of the season.
He started last weekend, and appeared off the bench against Tottenham Hotspur.
But with all the speculation surrounding him, some Wolves fans think he should now be used sparingly, and some don’t believe he should feature at all.
Cunha has been strongly linked with Manchester United in recent days.
It was claimed that Arsenal were still keen on Cunha, although the Gunners had reservations about the Brazilian.
But now, there has been a significant development.
Matheus Cunha will join Manchester United from Wolves this summer as agreement now in place
It has been reported by Goal Brasil that an agreement is now in place for Manchester United to sign Cunha.
Previously, there had only been indications that United and Cunha were in talks, and that United were the player’s preferred destination. No formal approach was said to have been made.
But it would seem United and Wolves have actually now come to agreement over the transfer of the player.
We all know that Cunha’s release clause is £62.5 million. So presumably that is what they will pay.
Although, Molineux News understands Wolves were open to helping United regarding the payment of Cunha’s release clause.
The exact structure of the agreement is not yet clear.

Vitor Pereira has little need for Cunha at Wolves now
Seemingly it is now a question of when Cunha will be a Manchester United player, not if.
This particular move has been mooted for a little while now, and this is a fairly significant update from Goal Brasil.

| Appearances – 31 |
| Minutes played – 2486 |
| Goals – 16 |
| Assists – 4 |
It will be very interesting to see how much involvement Cunha gets across these final games for Wolves.
If there’s an agreement in place, then there is very little point in Pereira actually playing him going forward, unless there are injuries.
Pereira needs to look ahead to next next season and these games are opportunities for players who will actually still be at Molineux.
