Matheus Cunha Set to Join Manchester United in £62.5 Million Deal
Manchester United are poised to complete the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha at the conclusion of the 2024/25 season. The Red Devils are prepared to activate the Brazilian’s £62.5 million release clause, with personal terms already agreed upon between the player and the club.
Cunha, 25, has been a standout performer for Wolves, netting 17 goals and providing six assists in 34 Premier League appearances this season. Despite Manchester United’s failure to secure European football for the upcoming season, Cunha remains committed to the move, viewing it as a “dream” opportunity.
The transfer is part of a broader strategy by Manchester United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim, who has emphasized the need for pace, power, and athleticism in the squad. Amorim has been granted a £100 million budget for the summer, with additional funds expected from player sales.
While the deal is nearing completion, some uncertainties remain. Manchester United’s recent Europa League final loss and overall poor season performance have led to questions about the club’s direction and potential impact on incoming transfers.
Nevertheless, with the transfer window set to open on June 1, Manchester United aim to finalize Cunha’s signing promptly, marking a significant step in their squad overhaul.
