Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has told his players not to underestimate Wolves. He warned of the threat from Wolves’ Brazilian striker Matheus Cunha ahead of their Premier League clash this weekend.
What Amorim Said
Amorim has urged his players to be ready for a tough game against Wolves on Sunday. He said: “Wolves have many quality players like Matheus Cunha… it won’t be easy.” Cunha has been in sparkling form this season, moving close to breaking the record for the most goals scored by a Brazilian in a Premier League campaign. His goal against Tottenham last weekend took his tally to 15 for the season, despite missing some matches through suspension.
Mixed Fortunes For Wolves and United
Wolves have been the surprise package this season, sitting in the top half of the table. Cunha’s outstanding form has been a crucial factor, as Wolves look to qualify for Europe next season. United, on the other hand, are struggling in the bottom half, with hopes of European football depending on their Europa League adventure which has taken them to the semi-final. This could force Amorim to use his backup players, but he will be aware of United’s precarious Premier League position.
What’s Next For United?
United host Wolves on Sunday, needing the points to move closer to safety, as they currently trail by several points to teams above them in the standings. Wolves are eighth, and will be looking to close the gap on the European spots. Matheus Cunha will be hoping to add to his tally, while United forwards Jadon Sancho and Sam Edozie will have a point to prove with the posters focusing on the Wolves forward. It promises to be a cracking game.
