Manchester United Sign Matheus Cunha for £62.5 Million

Manchester United will sign striker Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £62.5 million. Cunha’s contract runs until June 2030, with an option for an extra year.

WHAT HAPPENED?

United acted quickly to sign Cunha, making him their first big summer signing. They will pay Wolves the full £62.5 million fee. Cunha agreed to a contract until 2031 and chose to join before the Europa League final. Official announcements are expected soon.

United won’t play in the Champions League after losing the final to Tottenham. However, Cunha still wanted to join, showing his strong desire to play for the team.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

This signing is important for United as they try to rebuild after a poor season. They finished seventh in the Premier League and just one point above Wolverhampton in eighth.

Cunha’s signing will use a large part of United’s summer budget, which is reportedly £100 million. He scored 12 league goals with 7 assists for Wolves last season. New manager Ruben Amorim expects Cunha to boost United’s attack.

Meanwhile, Wolves lose their top scorer and must find new players after their strong finish to the season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR UNITED AND CUNHA?

Cunha will have a medical and finalize documents before joining United. Preseason begins in July, and Cunha is expected to play a key role in attack.

United aim for a top-four finish in the Premier League in 2025-26. Their first game will be a Premier League match, with the schedule released next month. United continue to search for signings to strengthen their squad around Cunha and aim for trophies next season.
