Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters are reacting emotionally after former star Matheus Cunha shared a social media post that has reignited discussions about his connection with the club and raised questions among fans about whether he could one day return to Molineux.
The Brazilian forward, who now plays for Manchester United, remains a popular figure among Wolves supporters following his impressive spell at the club. His latest Instagram activity has prompted emotional reactions from fans who are still struggling to accept how dramatically Wolves’ fortunes have changed since his departure.
The reaction comes at a difficult time for Wolves, who were relegated from the Premier League and are now attempting to rebuild their position in the Championship. Their frustrating 1–1 draw against Portsmouth on Tuesday, 20 October, has added to the disappointment surrounding the club.
Cunha’s Instagram post has become the centre of the discussion, with some supporters interpreting his activity as a reminder of the connection he established with Wolves. Others have expressed surprise at how far the club has fallen since he left, with some openly wishing he could return to help the team.
“Every storm passes, and every fallen giant deserves another sunrise. Wolves, keep fighting. The road may be difficult, but the Premier League lights are waiting. See you back in the PL soon, ready to compete again. 🧡”
Cunha initially joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan in 2023, making 17 appearances and scoring twice before his move became permanent. Between 2023 and 2025, he made another 65 appearances and scored 27 goals, becoming one of the club’s most influential attacking players.
His performances made him a fan favourite, with his creativity, determination and ability to produce decisive moments helping him establish a strong connection with the supporters.
In 2025, Cunha moved to Manchester United to begin a new chapter in his career. According to the figures supplied, he has since made 38 appearances and scored 11 goals for the Old Trafford club.
Despite his departure, memories of his time at Wolves remain fresh for many supporters. His previous farewell message praised the club and its fans, describing his final season as the best of his life and expressing his love for Wolves.
That history helps explain why his latest Instagram activity has generated such an emotional response. For some fans, the post has reopened the conversation about what Wolves lost when he left and whether the club can recover from its recent decline.
The 1–1 draw against Portsmouth has intensified those feelings. Wolves took the lead through Jordan James in the 62nd minute, but Terry Devlin equalised in the 86th minute, leaving the home side frustrated after dropping two points.
Supporters who remember watching Cunha in a Wolves shirt have questioned how the club reached its current position. Some believe having a player of his quality could make a difference, while others recognise that bringing him back from Manchester United would be difficult.
The possibility of a reunion has nevertheless become an emotional talking point, with fans expressing hope that he might return to Molineux at some stage in the future.
Different opinions among Wolves supporters include:
@Scott Morrison: “Honestly, I miss Cunha so much. Seeing him post about Wolves brings back memories. I wish he could return one day.”
@Jamie Wilson: “How did we go from having players like Cunha to being in this situation? It is painful watching what has happened to our club.”
@Callum Fraser: “If Cunha ever comes back to Wolves, I will welcome him with open arms. We need players who understand what this club means.”
@Ross Campbell: “That Instagram post has got me emotional. We have moved on, but some former players will always mean something special to us.”
@Darren McLean: “Imagine Cunha returning to Molineux one day. I know it is unlikely right now, but Wolves fans would absolutely love it.”
@Craig Robertson: “The Portsmouth draw was another disappointment. We need to stop dropping points and start showing the quality we know this team can produce.”
@Andrew Stewart: “I hope he still remembers what Wolves gave him. He was loved here, and I would never rule out football bringing him back one day.”
Cunha remains Instagram post has once again highlighted the affection many supporters still feel towards him.
The reaction reflects the frustration surrounding Wolves’ current situation. After experiencing Premier League football and watching talented players represent the club, supporters are desperate to see their team return to better days.
Whether Cunha will ever wear the Old Gold shirt again remains uncertain. For many Wolves supporters, however, the possibility is enough to spark conversation, revive old memories and raise hopes of a reunion in the future.
