Manchester United have completed the Matheus Cunha agreement from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Cunha signed a five-year contract and chose a one-year extension, becoming Ruben Amorim’s first signing in the summer as he hopes to rebuild a team that finished 15th in the Premier League.
United agreed to a two-year payment structure, encountering a £62.5 million issue clause in the 26-year-old contract. Manchester United said his signature is subject to a visa and registration.
Cunha intends to be ranked 10th for United, providing Wolves with 17 goals last season and 6 assists for Wolves.
Sky Sports News The report said the two clubs initially wanted to pay the figure after United initially paid out the payment contact, but then agreed to meet the three parts of Wolf within two years.
Despite the interest of other teams, Cunha still wants to play for Manchester United. He believes that Manchester United is one of the largest clubs in the world, and they have not been won by Champions League football after defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.
A source told Sky Sports News The 26-year-old "Love United".
Five Premier League teams, including Manchester United, hope to sign Brazil International this summer.
Arsenal and Aston Villa It is one of those who held exploratory negotiations on signing Brazil international this year. Saudi professional league clubs are also willing to trigger his release clause.
The striker signed from Atletico Madrid for £34m in 2022, and in the 2024/25 season he scored 15 goals and 6 assists in 33 matches in the Premier League.
Neville: Cunha will fit Amorim's system
The previous one Manchester United Defender Gary Neville Speech Sky Sports News:
"Marchester United are desperate. You think of Manchester United's game now, they're getting Jadon Sancho, (Marcus) Rashford and Antony Go, so the three nature players are nature players traveling with the ball.
“They are currently playing with (Alejandro) Garnacho, but then they are very skewed.
“Cunha is a player who is suitable for the system Ruben Amorim wants to play.
“They lost three players who played in this position, so they need to achieve that, they need to play these roles with certainty or they will struggle.
"They need to score goals. Ruben Amorim said over the weekend they are just trying to score goals, so you need players who can take risks, good in the last third, and Cunha has a lot of power."
Why Maverick Cunha is great for Man Utd - but there are risks
Adam Bate of the Sky:
Last summer, a conversation with Cunha was held on the Wolves training ground, which was a question about the importance of making him feel he had fun on the football field. "I don't want to go on the court and be a robot," he replied. "I want to enjoy it."
Watch Cunha’s gameplay, and the game’s method shines. Sometimes, he might linger in his choice, making decisions on cuffs. But these decisions are often exciting. He is an increasingly directed sport.
All of this makes Cunha one of the most interesting transfer targets in the summer window after Gary Neville’s comments about the recent Manchester Derby and subsequent reports tied to Brazil’s move forward.
Why? Because on one level, Cunha makes perfect sense in one of the 10 characters in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 system. He was already playing the wolf there. He can score goals or create goals for others. His £64 million issuance fee provides clarity to United.
On the other hand, there are questions about his temperament, and May 26-year-old Kuna is at the right age to achieve a major move in his career, but some will ask if he can adapt to needs and consistently deliver in an organized and pressing structure.
