Manchester United believe they can sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves this summer. Both the player and United want the deal to happen. United are ready to pay Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause in instalments, as long as Wolves agree.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Cunha, 25, is Manchester United’s top target as they try to improve their squad. They had a disappointing season and are currently 14th in the Premier League. They lost to Wolves in their last match. Reports say Cunha wants to join United, even without Champions League football. United are negotiating with Wolves to pay the release clause in parts, easing the financial impact for both sides. Talks are ongoing, but both clubs are confident a deal can be reached soon.
WHY UNITED WANT CUNHA
United’s attack has been poor this season, scoring few goals. Strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have combined for only six league goals. Cunha, on the other hand, has been exceptional for Wolves. He has scored 26 goals and provided 11 assists in just 60 Premier League appearances since joining from Atletico Madrid. His speed, skill, and goal-scoring ability have attracted interest from top clubs. However, United’s determination and Cunha’s preference for Old Trafford put them in the lead.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR UNITED AND WOLVES?
United’s next match is against Arsenal, who are leading the Premier League, while Wolves face Brentford. United trail Wolves by just one place and one point in the table. Signing Cunha would not only strengthen United’s attack but also show their intent to rebuild. If Wolves agree to the payment structure, United could finalize the transfer early in the summer, allowing Cunha to settle in before pre-season. Both clubs are watching the negotiations closely as they plan for next season.
