Matheus Cunha Breaks Silence on Shock Exit from Wolves After Tense Post-Match Exchange with Rúben Amorim
The Premier League has been set alight by a storm of speculation following Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha’s startling revelation about the circumstances surrounding his sudden departure from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In a candid and emotionally charged interview, Cunha finally addressed the real reason behind his exit, pointing directly to an intense and deeply personal moment with Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim.
According to Cunha, the pivotal incident occurred immediately after a hard-fought Premier League fixture. At the final whistle, Amorim approached him in what initially appeared to be a routine post-match handshake.
However, what transpired in that brief encounter, Cunha claims, left him humiliated, hurt, and convinced that his time at Wolves had come to an abrupt end.
“What I hate most is what Rúben Amorim told me today after the final whistle,” Cunha revealed, visibly unsettled. “That’s what led to my sudden departure from Wolves. Not even my father can say that to me.”
Although the forward declined to repeat the exact words, he strongly hinted that the remark was highly personal—far removed from any discussion about football tactics or performance.
Close sources to the player have suggested that Amorim’s comment may have questioned his loyalty, his professionalism, and possibly his influence within the dressing room. These insinuations, Cunha implied, cut far deeper than criticism of his on-field abilities.
Eyewitnesses recall seeing the striker’s demeanor shift immediately after the handshake, which lasted barely a moment before Cunha walked away without another word.
The fallout is particularly shocking given that Amorim, during his time managing Sporting Lisbon, was once reportedly interested in signing Cunha—a sign that the two men previously held mutual respect. That respect, Cunha now says, has been completely destroyed.
“There are boundaries in football you simply do not cross,” he explained. “I can handle criticism about my game. I can take it if someone says I played poorly. But this… this was personal.
When I heard it, I knew straight away I couldn’t stay at Wolves. I couldn’t play knowing that a Premier League manager believed that about me.”
The revelation has triggered widespread speculation among supporters and pundits. Wolves fans are demanding answers from both their club and Amorim, while social media is rife with theories—ranging from accusations of a lack of commitment to whispers about family-related remarks.
Some believe the comment may have been tied to his injury history, while others suspect it struck at something far more private.
Whatever the truth, the incident has left a lasting scar between two high-profile South American figures in the sport.
Cunha’s exit from Wolves now appears less like a career move and more like the result of a broken relationship—one that might never be repaired.
The football world awaits further clarity, but if the full details of Amorim’s words ever emerge, it could become one of the most explosive off-pitch controversies the Premier League has seen in years.
