Vitor Pereira says reported Man Utd target Matheus Cunha is happy at Wolves
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move away from Molineux, with the Red Devils reportedly admirers of the Brazilian forward.
Wolves were in a battle for Premier League survival until a month ago and Cunha has been a vital part of Pereira's side, contributing 15 goals and six assists to help steer them clear of relegation trouble.
Reports on Monday indicated Cunha was set to move to Old Trafford at the end of the season, but Pereira said he has no further information and the player is happy at Wolves.

He said: 'I have the same information as you. I don't know. I just know he's my player.
'He's committed with the team, he's working with happiness and we will see what happens. You must ask him. He is happy. I feel he is happy.'
The PA news agency has contacted Wolves and Manchester United for comment.
Wolves' next game is against FA Cup winners Crystal Palace on Tuesday, aiming to end a run of two consecutive defeats.
Palace will be on a high after Eberechi Eze's first-half goal against Manchester City at Wembley earned the Eagles their first major trophy.
Pereira congratulated Oliver Glasner's side and said their achievement was 'good for football'.
He added: 'I want to congratulate them because it's a huge achievement and is good for football when the small beats the big club.
'This is competition, they are a very consistent team, good players, good manager and we'll face a strong team but looking for our game, our play, this is the way we prepared for the game.
'We will try to improve from the last game.'
A proud Vitor Pereira reflects on his @premierleague Manager of the Season nomination 💬
— Wolves (@Wolves) May 17, 2025
Pereira's work in turning Wolves' season around has not gone unnoticed after he won the Premier League manager of the month award for April, while he is one of five bosses nominated for the manager of the season honour.
Wolves were five points from safety when he took over and are now up to 14th in the table, having secured their top-flight status a few weeks ago.
Pereira said: 'Our title this season was to transform our situation into a better situation. To come in four games before the end of the season and we stay in the Premier League, but it cannot be the same next season.
'We need to be consistent from the beginning, to dream with other things. I need a break. I started in Saudi Arabia, it was not easy, tough work, and now it's not time to rest because we need to do a lot of work in the holidays.'

Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool make £113m Wirtz offer, Inter inquire about Hojlund, Spurs target Frank as new manager
Tottenham released a lengthy statement explaining their decision to dismiss manager Ange Postecoglou: FOLLOWING a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties. Ange joined us from Celtic in the summer of 2023 and oversaw a period of change on the pitch, returning us to the attacking brand of football that has traditionally been associated with the Club, while writing a new chapter in our history by leading us to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao last month - an achievement that will live with us all forever. We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw. However, the Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph. It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision. We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future - he will always be welcome back at our home. News on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course.

Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Gunners ‘make contact' with Rogers, Rodrygo wage demands revealed, Martinelli exit possible
Isak tipped for Arsenal Jamie O'Hara has claimed that Arsenal should sign Newcastle star Aleksander Isak over Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko. He told Grosvenor Sport: 'The obvious position to strengthen for Arsenal is a striker – they need to get one in. 'They need someone big and strong who can get them 20 goals a season. For me, Kai Havertz just isn't the man for the job. 'Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko are the obvious choices in the striker department for them. However, the trouble with strikers who come over from other leagues is that they fail to hit the ground running – particularly players from the Bundesliga and Liga Portugal. There's a massive difference between playing there and in the Premier League. 'I think clubs should be buying Premier League proven players who have been doing it week in, week out already. That's why I think Manchester United have been quite clever by signing Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha – we all know they're going to work for them. 'With that in mind, if I were Arsenal, I'd go and get Isak. I know it will be hard because Newcastle are in the Champions League, but Arsenal are a bigger club than Newcastle and could definitely tempt him.'
