Manchester United is set to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, with the transfer deal worth £62.5m. The Brazilian forward’s release clause has been paid in installments, according to Fabrizio Romano. A verbal agreement was reached on Sunday, and the transfer is expected to be formally signed next week, as previously planned.
Matheus Cunha is an attacking player who can play as a centre-forward or on the wing. He has previously played for clubs such as Sion and RB Leipzig before joining Wolves. Cunha is known for his pace and finishing ability.
The transfer news comes after speculation surrounding Manchester United’s managerial appointment, with Cunha backing Ruben Amorim amid reports of the Portuguese coach joining the Red Devils, as reported on May 27. The transfer deal has been in the works for several days, with reports emerging on May 20 that Manchester United was close to signing the player in a £62.5m deal.
