Wolves boss Vitor Pereira believes Matheus Cunha is "a special player" who "will have opportunities in his career," as interest increases in the Brazil forward's signature.

Cunha registered a goal and assist in Wolves' 2-0 victory over Manchester United and Pereira said: "I hope he stays with us for a long time, but I understand that as a special player - he will have opportunities for sure in his career.

"It is not only about his technique, but his personality. He is special because he can take the ball in a moment of pressure and make magic from nothing.

"It was magic what he did [against United]."

Cunha's goal was his 10th in the Premier League so far this season, only two goals shy of the 12 he managed in whole of last campaign. As a result, his boss has no intention of letting the striker leave

"No, of course I do not want him to be sold in January," Pereira insisted.
