“He’s coming back to Molineux, now confirmed by OFFICIAL post by the club” — Wolves fans have now been told the Date when Matheus Cunha will be making sensational return back to play at Molineux after big money move to Man Utd

With the release of the 2025/26 fixture schedule, Wolves supporters now know when Matheus Cunha will return to Molineux.

Almost immediately after the summer transfer market opened, Cunha’s transfer to Manchester United was finalized.

It was a transfer saga that Wolves did not want to prolong, making the £62.5m release clause included in the Brazilian’s contract in January all the more valuable.

Wolves fans were relieved to see Cunha leave due to his role in stirring transfer speculation, despite the 26-year-old being one of the finest players ever to grace the pitch at Molineux.

When Matheus Cunha will return to Wolves:

Cunha wasn’t the only player to depart Wolves early in the window, however, as Rayan Ait-Nouri handled his exit courteously, the Algerian leaving with good wishes.

For the defender’s former teammate, it’s uncertain whether Cunha will face jeers on his return to Molineux, with fans now aware of the date the forward will visit WV1 with Man United.

When the 2025/26 Premier League fixture list was published, it was revealed that Wolves will face Cunha’s Man United on gameweek 15 at Molineux, scheduled for 6th December, marking the Brazil international’s first return.

Soon after, the Old Gold will travel to their former star player’s new home on 30th December as part of gameweek 19, when Vitor Pereira’s team heads to Old Trafford.

Wolves will aim to defeat Man United again
When it comes to facing Man United, it’s a matter of craving more of the same for Wolves, who triumphed over the Red Devils home and away last season.

Ironically, Cunha was central to both victories, excelling at Old Trafford and contributing to both goals in Wolves’ 2-0 victory against United at Molineux.

The West Midlands outfit will hope that the 26-year-old doesn’t return to trouble them, with another crucial win targeted by Pereira’s squad.

It was during the 1-0 win at Old Trafford that Rio Ferdinand believes Cunha impressed Man United, as the Brazilian dominated, and after the match, was approached by Ruben Amorim.

The only thing on Pereira’s mind will be securing as many victories as possible, but for some Wolves fans, proving to Cunha what he’s missing would be an added bonus.
