Matheus Nunes

Wolves confirmed the signing of Matheus Nunes this week, and Jose Enrique is sad that Liverpool didn't sign the talented midfielder.

Liverpool’s winless start to the new season has attracted a ton of criticism. Liverpool were named as one of the interested parties, and a move even looked likely at one point. Liverpool fans were excited when rumours linked their club with a move for Nunes. Even if Liverpool don’t sign a single player between now and the end of the window, they will still have one of the best teams in the Premier League. Nunes has been heavily linked with a move to a number of clubs in the Premier League over the last few months.

Manchester United News: Bruno Fernandes Not Happy With the Club for Not Going After Matheus Nunes. The highly rated midfielder joined Wolves.

He will have the opportunity to play in the top league in the world. The likes of Ruben, Sa, and Moutinho, will impart a lot of knowledge to him. I have no doubt that he will soar in the Premier League and display his abilities. I’ve already informed him to come here to United rather than there (to Wolves). He is a versatile midfielder. After making his Portugal debut the previous year, Nunes has since made an additional seven appearances and scored one for his country’s team.

The Wolves boss is happy to have multiple options across the field as his side head to the English capital.

The challenge was for him to be, and I believe with us, he would have been, a top player. "We're going to play against top players, and that's the challenge every week. He can be an important player for us, that's the most important thing, and then, it's a different challenge.

It's just like being in Portugal because I have a lot of Portuguese team-mates. They had more chances but that's because we were more up the field trying to take a risk to score. In the first half, we had good chances to score and even in the second half it was balanced.
