No 'crystal ball' on Cunha's future

Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira admits he cannot predict Matheus Cunha's future after the forward's starring role against Leicester City.

The striker scored and set up Jorgen Strand Larsen and Rodrigo Gomes as Wolves cruised past the Foxes 3-0 at Molineux.

Cunha has a £62.5m release clause in his contract and Manchester United are interested in bringing him to Old Trafford this summer, but Pereira refused to second guess what will happen during the transfer window.

In his post-match interview, he said: "This is a crystal ball, looking into the future. I don't have this crystal ball. I cannot say that he will leave. He is with us - committed with us - and we are happy with him.

"He has a high quality game, he is a special player. He is committed, with his teammates, to help the club do the best we can until the end of the season."

Wolves recorded their sixth straight Premier League win, their best run in the top flight since 1970, after Cunha fired them ahead in the first half before Strand Larsen drilled in from his pass.

Jose Sa then saved a Jamie Vardy penalty before Rodrigo Gomes latched onto another Cunha pass to make it 3-0 late on.

"Happiness," said Pereira, when asked how he felt with six-in-a-row. "It is everything I can ask because the energy is good in the stadium, between the supporters and the team, between the players, the staff and the supporters.

"This is what we can do in football."

Pereira also admitted he might go into Wolverhampton for a drink to celebrate with the supporters, having been seen going to the local Wetherspoons after recent victories.

"Maybe - because I didn't lose a lot of energy today!" he said. "I was OK. I lose energy when I don't like the team playing in the way that I am seeing."
