Wolves star knows exactly which ‘confident’ Man Utd star can cause ‘problems’ at Molineux tonight

Manchester United’s clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers this evening marks Matheus Cunha’s first game back at Molineux since leaving the club.Back in June, the forward completed a move to United after having his £62.5 million release clause activated, and proceeded to be granted the side’s iconic No.10 shirt in Marcus Rashford’s absence.How Cunha is faring in his maiden Red Devils season(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images)While Cunha has only returned one goal since 2025/2026 got underway, he has been lauded for his transformative efforts in Ruben Amorim’s attack.He, along with fellow summer signing Bryan Mbeumo, has made all the difference to United’s build-up play in the opening matches of the campaign, showing just how beneficial it can be to buy the best players in the division.The Brazilian’s former Wolves teammate, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, has anticipated that Cunha will be at his prolific best when locking horns with the Black Country outfit.What Bellegarde had to say about Cunha(Photo by Alex Pantling/Getty Images)“Matheus Cunha is a good player, and we know that if you leave him with the ball and give him more confidence, then this can be a problem for the whole team,” Bellegarde told Wolves’ media.“But for us, we need to play closer to our strikers so we can help them grow in confidence, and push our defenders to stay tight and put other teams in danger.“We know they’re a good team, so we can’t let them play, and we need to put in a lot of energy and make things difficult for them.”Last time out, the 26-year-old returned from his head injury setback to be restored to the starting XI for last Thursday’s draw with West Ham.Read more: First bid rebuffed but deal likely to be struck — United edge closer to full agreement for £37m star
