The Brazilian's representatives have been in talks with Manchester United, who are interested in triggering his £62.5million release clause this summer.

Cunha is expected to leave the club when the transfer window opens and while Pereira remained tight-lipped on the forward's potential departure, he insisted the player is focused on playing for Wolves with five games left this season.

"He's committed," the head coach said.

"He's our player and he's committed, that's all.

"He has the mentality to help the team. 

"It's normal that every time on the news (they mention him), but this is not for me. I don't care about the news."

When asked if he had spoken to Cunha about the noise regarding his future, Pereira added: "No. I just want to see him committed with the team, to help us.

"At the end of the season we'll see what happens.

"He's happy and enjoying (training), like me.

"I changed training (this week) and every time were in competition.

"A tournament between three teams and they loved it, it's like they came back to their origins of football.

"Just to compete with a team, with three touches, and for them it's like they are playing football at school.

"It was a fantastic week because I saw happiness in everyone, competing to win the tournament.

"It was a very nice week and I hope we compete (against Leicester) at the same level I saw in training this week."

Meanwhile, United boss Ruben Amorim refused to comment specifically about Cunha when asked about United's interest, but insisted the club must act early in the transfer window.

Amorim said: "I could say this is a conversation for the end of the season but I have an idea that is clear because we need to do things early.

"I will not say anything about Matheus because if I say one time I will have to comment on every situation. I am focused on this season and even in the next few games could change our plan for next season."
