[image or embed] — European Super Football ( @superfootball.bsky.social ) 24 November 2024 at 12:42 Fulham took an early lead in the 19th minute through Alex Iwobi’s stunning long-range strike. However, Cunha, a rare bright spot in an otherwise tough season for Gary O’Neil’s side, equalised in the 31st minute with a poacher’s finish. The Brazilian forward then turned provider early in the second half, setting up Joao Gomes to give Wolves the lead. The pair reversed roles later, as Cunha netted his second with a spectacular strike from the edge of the area. Fulham’s misery deepened when Joachim Andersen p...

A pivotal summer begins for Manchester United Manchester United enter the summer on the back of a bruising Europa League final defeat and one of their worst-ever Premier League campaigns.  Author | Liam C Under new head coach Rúben Amorim, the club faces a defining transfer window, one that could shape their trajectory for the next few years. Maybe even the next decade. Amorim has not shied away from speaking plainly about the scale of the task ahead. United are in urgent need of a reset, and this time, they cannot afford missteps. If the Portuguese coach is to succeed with his preferred 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 formation, the club must fully support him in the market. So where should they begin? Signing Matheus Cunha would be a strong statement of intent. The Brazilian forward was Wolverhampton Wanderers’ standout performer last season, combining work rate with end product. More importantly, he could help solve United’s long-standing attacking problems. United have struggled for goals a...

Matheus Cunha to Manchester United? The Red Devils are continuing to explore potential manoeuvres in the market in search of attacking players, and one of the names that has gained strength in recent days is Matheus Cunha.  Author - Olivia T Source | Football Pictures Flickr The Brazilian forward, currently with Wolves, has shown outstanding performance in the Premier League, attracting the interest of major English clubs.  His ability to play in various attacking positions and his dynamism fit the profile that their manager is looking at. Cunha wants to make the step up While things didn’t work out for Cunha at Atletico Madrid, he has certainly revived his career since joining Wolves. He joined the Midlands side on an initial loan deal at the start of 2023 before the move was made permanent in the summer. While he prefers playing as a number nine, Cunha can pretty much feature anywhere in attack. His versatility, combined with his effectiveness in the final third, makes h...

Wolves 3 - 0 Leicester City Wolves extended their fine run of form as Matheus Cunha led them to a sixth consecutive Premier League win with a 3-0 triumph over Leicester City. Author - Peter Grainger Stadium - Molineux The Brazilian striker scored one goal and set up efforts for Jorgen Strand Larsen and Rodrigo Gomes, helping Wolves to achieve six top-flight victories in a row for the first time since 1970. Meanwhile, Leicester’s struggles continued, with Jamie Vardy missing a second-half penalty and remaining on 198 goals for the club with just four matches left before his departure. Cunha, who has a £62.5 million release clause and is widely expected to leave Molineux this summer amid interest from Manchester United, notched his 15th Premier League goal of the campaign. Wolves, who secured their Premier League status earlier this month, will now face the difficult task of finding a replacement for their influential forward.

Wolves 0 - 1 Arsenal Riccardo Calafiori’s strike secured a crucial Premier League win for 10-man Arsenal against Wolves, despite the drama surrounding Myles Lewis-Skelly's controversial red card. Author - DJ Stadium - Molineux Stadium Referee Michael Oliver stunned the Gunners in the first half by sending off 18-year-old Lewis-Skelly for a foul on Matt Doherty. The incident occurred 30 yards from Wolves’ goal as Doherty looked to break from an Arsenal corner. At just 18 years and 121 days old, Lewis-Skelly became the third-youngest player to be shown a red card in Premier League history, behind Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen. Wolves midfielder João Gomes also saw red in the second half for a second bookable offence after fouling Jurrien Timber. However, his dismissal will likely be little more than a footnote in the story of the match. Lewis-Skelly’s sending-off could have dealt a significant blow to Arsenal's title hopes. A slip-up here would have allowed Liverpool to exten...

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 - 0 Manchester United Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes saw red for the third time this season, as Wolves maintained their perfect start under new manager Vítor Pereira with a 2-0 win over the Red Devils. Author - Olivia T Fernandes was sent off just two minutes into the second half after receiving a second yellow card. This follows earlier dismissals against Tottenham and Porto, adding to what has been a frustrating campaign for the United skipper. Was this a significant moment in the match? Wolves wasted no time making their numerical advantage count. Eleven minutes later, Matheus Cunha delivered a moment of déjà vu for United fans, scoring directly from a corner—just as Tottenham’s Son Heung-min had done a week earlier. Cunha’s delivery floated over André Onana’s reach in a packed six-yard box, exposing United’s continued struggles to defend set-pieces. The game was put to bed deep into added time. With United desperately searching for an equali...

Wolves 0 - 2 Brighton & Hove Albion Brighton kept their European ambitions alive with a 2-0 victory over Wolves, thanks to goals from Danny Welbeck and Brajan Gruda. Author - Peter Grainger Stadium - Molineux Welbeck opened the scoring from the penalty spot shortly before the interval, while Gruda, a second-half substitute, sealed the win with his first goal for the club in the closing stages. Wolves came closest through Matheus Cunha, whose acrobatic effort drew an excellent save from Bart Verbruggen. Despite a lively spell after the break, particularly following a triple change by head coach Vítor Pereira, the home side were unable to convert their chances. The result lifts Brighton to ninth in the Premier League, level on points with Brentford who sit just above them. With two matches remaining, the Seagulls remain in contention for a second successive European campaign, although much still hinges on other results.

Wolves 1 - 2 Newcastle United Harvey Barnes' sensational late strike maintained Newcastle's unbeaten start to the season as they came from behind to win at Wolves. Coming off the bench, Barnes curled a beauty from 20 yards out with just 10 minutes remaining, shortly after Fabian Schar had levelled the game. Wolves had taken the lead through Mario Lemina’s first goal since February, but Gary O'Neil's side are still searching for their first win after four games. Click here for more Newcastle United news and stories A closer look at what happened Newcastle looked lively in the early stages of the game, with Wolves keeper Sam Johnstone tipping over Jacob Murphy's effort after the winger burst forward. This sparked a heated exchange between O'Neil and his defender, Craig Dawson. The Magpies kept the pressure on, and Anthony Gordon nearly doubled their advantage, hitting the post after a slick dribble past Nelson Semedo and nutmegging Yerson Mosquera. Pictures ...

Author | Liam C Sesko was unveiled before United's friendly against  Fiorentina The Slovenia international has committed to a five-year contract, with a guaranteed fee of £66.3 million and additional payments based on performance.

A new left back for Manchester City? Manchester City are close to finalising a £31m deal for Wolves left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri, with the Algeria international expected to undergo a medical. Author | Macca The transfer, which includes £5m in add-ons, is nearing completion as City seek to address a long-standing issue on the left side of defence. Would this be a good move for Manchester City? Eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com [image or embed] — Super News Affiliate ( @eurosuperfootball.bsky.social ) 8 June 2025 at 15:19 The club are working to complete the signing before 10 June, the deadline for Aït-Nouri to be eligible for the Club World Cup group stage. The 24-year-old has emerged as a priority target for Pep Guardiola, who has been without a natural left-back since August 2021.

Wolves v Everton preview The home side are currently five points clear of the relegation zone and will be hoping for a win against Everton to ease any concerns Author - Sarah W It’s been a mixed few weeks for Wolves, who ended February with two wins and two defeats in the Premier League, along with contrasting fortunes in the FA Cup.  Narrow 2-1 losses in the Premier League against Liverpool and Fulham have kept them looking nervously over their shoulders. However, with a more favourable run of fixtures on the horizon, and having seen their FA Cup campaign brought to an end by Bournemouth last weekend, Wolves can now turn their full attention to securing Premier League survival. Sitting five points clear of the drop zone, they will be eager to add more points to their tally and avoid being dragged back into danger. Everton, on the other hand, have found a new lease of life under returning manager David Moyes. The former Toffees boss, who was reappointed in January following Se...

Arsenal 2 - 0 Wolves Arsenal began their Premier League campaign with a straightforward win against Wolves at the Emirates Stadium. Kai Havertz opened the scoring for the Gunners in the first half, heading in from Bukayo Saka’s cross from the right. After the break, Saka added a second with a powerful left-footed strike into the right corner, capitalising on a quickly taken free-kick that caught the visitors off guard. A closer look at the match Although Arsenal weren't at their best, they were always in control and fully deserved the victory against determined opposition. Wolves debutant Jorgen Strand Larsen had a good chance in the first half, but his header was well saved by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. Substitute Matheus Cunha had an opportunity to equalise, but Raya comfortably dealt with his weak effort as Wolves pressed for a goal. Despite their efforts, Wolves manager Gary O’Neil will have few complaints about the result, as his team struggled to create clear chances ...

For the early stages of the competition, there has been plenty of drama Let's have a closer look at some of the biggest talking points Author | Josh D Grimsby Town 2 - 2 Manchester United (Grimsby Town won 12-11 on penalties) We had to start here didn't we? United crashed out of the Carabao Cup in humiliating fashion after a marathon penalty shootout defeat to League Two Grimsby Town. United press for a goal Amorim's side had looked to have salvaged the night after a shambolic first half in which they fell two goals behind, with returning goalkeeper André Onana badly at fault for Grimsby’s second. Bryan Mbeumo came off the bench to halve the deficit before Harry Maguire struck a stoppage-time equaliser. The tie then went to penalties and United faltered again. Matheus Cunha failed to convert their fifth kick and, after Mbeumo struck the crossbar with his second effort, Grimsby sealed a remarkable 12-11 win that sent jubilant fans pouring on to the pitch. Sheffield Wedne...

Everton 4 - 0 Wolves Everton ended a five-game winless streak in the Premier League with a resounding victory over a dismal Wolves side at Goodison Park, ramping up the pressure on under-fire manager Gary O’Neil. Author - Craig H from GMCR Football  Both managers were under the spotlight going into Wednesday’s clash after their teams had each shipped four goals at the weekend. While Wolves fans turned on O’Neil, especially after Craig Dawson's two own goals, Everton boss Sean Dyche enjoyed watching his side deliver a much-needed dominant display, lifting them five points clear of the relegation zone. After four games without a goal, Everton made the perfect start. Ashley Young’s sublime 25-yard free-kick bent around the wall and nestled beautifully into the bottom-right corner, ending their scoring drought in style. Elsewhere in the Premier League Six minutes later, it looked like Everton had doubled their lead when James Tarkowski powered in a header from Dwight McNeil’s cro...

Manchester United 0 - 2 West Ham United It was another disappointing afternoon in the Premier League for the Europa League finalists. Author - Olivia T Stadium - Old Trafford Tomas Soucek and captain Jarrod Bowen were on target as West Ham ended a run of eight Premier League matches without a win, easing to victory over a Manchester United side whose preparations for the Europa League final appear increasingly uncertain. United named a starting XI featuring five players expected to line up against Tottenham in Bilbao on 21 May, but the match brought more questions than answers. Most troubling for Rúben Amorim was the injury to Leny Yoro, who left the pitch visibly distressed after sustaining a foot problem and headed straight down the tunnel. The setback prompted the immediate withdrawal of Luke Shaw, a potential option in the back three for the final in Spain. The defeat means United have now matched their longest winless run in the Premier League since 1992. On that occasion, the...

Manchester United's hunt for a striker has intensified They have submitted an offer for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, with the proposed deal potentially rising to £73.8m. The package includes a guaranteed £65.2m. Author | Olivia T youtu.be/3wGwO06N_rg?... Could Sesko be a good signing for Manchester United? [image or embed] — Super News Affiliate ( @sup3rnew5affiliate.bsky.social ) 5 August 2025 at 16:06 United believe the bid represents fair value for the 22-year-old Slovenia international, who is thought to be open to the move. Newcastle United have also made an approach for Sesko, but their offer is yet to be accepted. The formal bid marks a shift in United’s approach, amid previous suggestions they were reluctant to table an offer without clarity over the player’s willingness to join. Sources at Old Trafford believe that hurdle has now been cleared, and the club are prepared to part ways with Rasmus Højlund to create space in the squad. Sesko has scored 39 goals in 8...

Wolves 1 - 0 West Ham United Jørgen Strand Larsen continued his fine form with his third goal in two games as Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a crucial victory over West Ham United, easing their relegation concerns. Author - Jamie P Stadium - Molineux Stadium The Norwegian forward, who missed the international break with a fractured hand, made an instant impact on his return, notching his 10th Premier League goal of the season. With Wolves still without the suspended Matheus Cunha, it was Strand Larsen who stepped up, steering home in the 21st minute after an intricate run from João Gomes—his effort helped on its way by a slight deflection off former Wolves defender Max Kilman. The hosts almost doubled their advantage five minutes later following another driving run from Gomes, but Marshall Munetsi’s effort rattled the crossbar after a smart link-up with Strand Larsen. West Ham, sluggish in the first half, should have drawn level early on when Evan Ferguson—handed his first sta...

 Wolves 1 - 0 Aston Villa Victory on derby day over Aston Villa tasted all the sweeter for Wolves as it left them within touching distance of survival. Toti Gomes' bullet header settled a typically lively West Midlands clash and secured Wolves a fourth successive Molineux triumph. This has created a ten-point gap between them and the drop zone. Toti’s first goal for the club proved to be the game's only goal, with striking duo Matheus Cunha and Diego Costa both coming close, but it mattered not as a fiery atmosphere brought home the three points. This could lead to Premier League safety soon rather than later.  Let's explore the post-match reaction from the West Midlands. The full-time whistle sparked joyous scenes of celebration and another Premier League season is now within touching distance for the club. For Villa, it represents a missed opportunity in their quest for European qualification.  Danny, a Wolves Season Ticket holder, said: "That is a massive result...

It has already been a busy summer at Old Trafford Will the final week and a half of the transfer window see more changes to Manchester United's squad? Author | Josh D Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim underlined his priorities by investing £200m in a new-look attack featuring Matheus Cunha , Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko . The rebuild up front, however, has highlighted issues at the other end of the pitch. Andre Onana continues to look unconvincing, while Altay Bayindir ’s costly mistake against Arsenal has only increased concerns over the goalkeeping position. Gianluigi Donnarumma has been linked with a move to Old Trafford , but questions remain over whether such a major transfer could be concluded before the deadline.

Liverpool 2 - 1 Wolves Mohamed Salah extended his red-hot scoring form as a nervy Liverpool saw off Wolves to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points. Author - William G Stadium - Anfield   The Egyptian forward calmly converted from the penalty spot, making it five goals in four league matches, with manager Arne Slot watching from the sidelines. Slot was shown a red card following Liverpool’s Merseyside derby draw with Everton , but the Dutchman has until Wednesday to respond to the FA’s charge. Determined to put Everton’s dramatic 98th-minute equaliser behind them, Liverpool started brightly at Anfield and took the lead after 15 minutes, thanks to Luis Díaz’s persistence. The Colombian ended a 10-game goal drought by bundling the ball over the line after Salah’s pass was deflected in the box by Wolves defender Toti Gomes. Liverpool doubled their advantage 22 minutes later when referee Simon Hooper awarded a penalty after Wolves keeper José Sá brought ...
