Matheus Cunha reveals what Ruben Amorim told Him today after the final whistle that really got Him upset

Matheus Cunha has broken his silence on the real reason he left Wolverhampton Wanderers, and it’s far more personal than anyone imagined. In a candid and emotionally charged interview, the Brazilian forward revealed that a post-match exchange with Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim pushed him to the breaking point.

According to Cunha, the incident happened right after a tense Premier League fixture. Amorim approached him at full-time in what appeared to be a standard handshake, but instead, he said something that left Cunha stunned, humiliated, and deeply hurt. While the forward chose not to repeat the exact words, he hinted they were so personal and cutting that “not even my father could say that to me.”

Those close to the player suggest the comment wasn’t about tactics or his performance on the pitch, but about his character, loyalty, and professionalism—hitting him harder than any challenge in the game. Witnesses say Cunha’s expression changed instantly, and he walked away from Amorim after barely a second of contact, refusing any further exchange.

What makes this more surprising is that Amorim had reportedly admired Cunha’s talent during his time at Sporting Lisbon, and mutual respect was thought to exist between them. But Cunha insists that respect is now gone. “I can take criticism about my game, but this was personal. The moment I heard it, I knew my time at Wolves was over,” he said.

Since the revelation, fans have flooded social media with speculation. Some believe Amorim questioned his commitment, others suspect a dig at his injury history, and the most controversial theory suggests the remark touched on family—possibly explaining why Cunha says even his father couldn’t speak to him like that.

Whatever the truth, the fallout has created tension between two South American figures who many once thought would work together. Cunha’s sudden Wolves exit now feels less like a footballing decision and more like the aftermath of a personal rupture. Whether the exact words ever come to light remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—this story has left a mark on both men’s reputations and may have closed a door for good.
