Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha
Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Brazilian has scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 34 games for a side who have spent the majority of the season battling relegation. He was linked with a move to Arsenal in January, but signed a new deal with a release clause of around £62.5 million inserted and United have reportedly agreed terms on a move.
There has been no direct contact yet between United and Wolves but those formalities are anticipated once the season has closed.
Despite interest from other clubs, Cunha wants to play for United.
Saudi Pro League clubs were also now willing to trigger his release clause.
The forward, signed from Atletico Madrid in 2022 for a fee of around £34m, has registered 27 goals and 13 assists in 63 Premier League games. This season he has been in sensational form, as he has scored 15 goals and also registered 6 assists in 31 matches.
Under Gary O’Neil he was the heart and soul of every attack
Under Gary O’Neil he was the heart and soul of every attack as he was single handedly keeping Wolves outside the relegation zone but after the appointment of Vitor Pereira as the manager.
Cunha makes perfect sense in one of those No 10 roles within Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system
Cunha makes perfect sense in one of those No 10 roles within Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system. He already plays there for Wolves. He can score goals but also create them for others.
The biggest plus point of his arrival will be the versatility that he provides in attacking forms. He can play on the left-wing, in the No.10 position, as a false 9 and as a striker.
Manchester United have also held face-to-face talks with Ipswich Town and England striker Liam Delap, 22.
