Manchester United have taken a significant step in their summer rebuild, announcing the imminent arrival of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
The transfer, pending visa and registration approvals, is set to cost the Red Devils 62.5 million pounds, activating the release clause in Cunha’s contract.
Sources confirmed to ESPN that Cunha has committed to a five-year deal, with an optional extension to keep him at Old Trafford potentially until 2031. United will pay the hefty transfer fee in installments over two years, after initially angling for a longer payment plan.
Cunha’s breakout season at Molineux – where he notched 17 goals and six assists across all competitions, clearly caught the eye of United’s new leadership. His signing comes in tandem with increased financial backing for head coach Ruben Amorim, who is tasked with reshaping a squad in flux.
That reshaping is likely to involve several high-profile exits. United are reportedly open to parting ways with the underperforming trio of Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford, while rising star Alejandro Garnacho could also be on the move.
In a potential headline-making twist, Al Hilal of the Saudi Pro League are circling club captain Bruno Fernandes. The Middle Eastern giants are said to be lining up a marquee signing ahead of the upcoming Club World Cup, and Fernandes sits atop their wishlist.
As United’s transfer strategy unfolds, the message is clear: a new era is being written at Old Trafford – one bold signing and tough decision at a time.
