Cunha and Security Guard Hug it Out
Tuesday, 1st Sep 2026 11:48

Manchester United striker Matheus Cunha and the Blues security guard whose glasses he broke after a clash during the Brazilian’s time at Wolves, hugged out their differences when they were reunited at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Security guard Chris, who looks after Town bosses on a matchday, was elbowed in the head and had his glasses broken by Cunha during a post-match melee after the Blues had won 2-1 at Molineux in December 2024.

But the incident appeared to have been firmly put behind them when they were spotted meeting up on the Old Trafford pitch at the final whistle on Sunday.

Speaking prior to the match, Blues manager Gary O’Neil, who coincidentally was in charge of Wolves that day, had indicated that the matter had long been put to rest.

“Cunha apologised, obviously, for that,” he said. “These things go on. I don’t think that’s a reflection of Matheus as a character at all.

“I know Chris has forgiven him. Chris has forgiven me for allowing Cunha to do that as well, if it even was my fault. Matheus is a good guy.”

Yes nice, as having GO in charge as well, especially so when this was the game that got him sacked@ Wolves. Ironically Less than 1 & half years on becoming our Manager.

Just need Gary to convince Matheus to join Town for a perfect end to the story.

This has all the makings of an ITV docu-drama.

Does this mean that following VAR reviews of last season’s melee and the subsequent hug, Cunha did not break Chris’ glasses on purpose because the episode between the two of them have resulted in a hug.

The rumours are that Cunha was a bad Apple in wolves barrel and GON allowed him to get away with stuff others weren't allowed to. Not sure what the truth is but a hug doesn’t change what happened.

On the day he broke Chris' glasses, Chris should have grabbed him by the cockles!

You mean he should have grabbed him by the Cojunhas?

Good to see, bit of a storm in a tea cup, though an unnecessary one.
