Matheus Cunha Joins Manchester United In £62.5m Deal From Wolves.
Manchester United have secured the signature of Brazil international Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, triggering the 26-year-old’s £62.5m release clause. The forward, who expressed a strong desire to play at Old Trafford, becomes the first signing of the summer for manager Ruben Amorim as he begins reshaping a squad that finished a disappointing 15th in the Premier League last season.
The transfer, completed on the opening day of the summer window, sees United agree to a payment structure spread over two years for the club-record sale for Wolves. Cunha is set to sign a five-year contract with an option for an additional year, pending visa and registration approval, the club confirmed.
Despite interest from other clubs, Cunha’s determination to join United remained unshaken, even with the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League. The versatile attacker, known for his flair and goal-scoring prowess, leaves Wolves after an impressive 2024/2025 Premier League campaign, where his goals and assists caught the eye of top clubs across Europe.
United fans will be eager to see Cunha in action as Amorim looks to rebuild the team and restore the club’s fortunes. The signing marks a bold statement of intent as Manchester United aim to climb back up the Premier League table.
