OFFICIAL: Matheus Cunha Joins Manchester United in £67.5M Transfer

Manchester United are on the verge of signing Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers after agreeing to trigger his £62.5 million release clause.

The 25-year-old is expected to become the first major acquisition under new manager Ruben Amorim, as the club embarks on a significant squad overhaul following a challenging season. 

Cunha has reportedly agreed to personal terms with United, with a five-year contract running until June 2030.

The deal is anticipated to be finalized once the season concludes, with medical examinations scheduled for the coming week. 

The Brazilian international had an impressive season with Wolves, scoring 17 goals and providing six assists in 34 appearances.

His addition is seen as a strategic move to bolster United’s attacking options, addressing the team’s struggles in the final third. 

Despite interest from other Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, Cunha is said to be keen on joining Manchester United, viewing the club as a significant step in his career. 

The transfer aligns with United’s broader strategy to reinforce their squad, with manager Ruben Amorim reportedly allocated a transfer budget of nearly £100 million to initiate the club’s rebuild. 

An official announcement from Manchester United is expected in the coming days.
