Manchester United are set to make their first major move of the summer transfer window, with Wolves forward Matheus Cunha poised to join the Red Devils after agreeing personal terms. United are expected to activate the Brazilian’s £62.5 million release clause once the Premier League season concludes this weekend, marking a significant moment in the Ruben Amorim rebuild.

Cunha, 25, has been one of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ standout performers this season, recording 17 goals and six assists across all competitions. His technical flair, off-ball movement, and ability to operate both as a central striker and in wider roles have made him an attractive prospect for several clubs. However, Manchester United appear to have won the race for his signature, beating interest from Arsenal and clubs in the Saudi Pro League.

Sources close to the negotiations confirm that personal terms have already been agreed between Cunha and Manchester United. The deal aligns with manager Ruben Amorim’s vision for a summer overhaul at Old Trafford, as he seeks to inject creativity and cutting edge into United’s front line following their worst league finish in over three decades.

Amorim views Cunha not just as a goalscorer, but as a versatile attacker capable of thriving in a fluid system. With Bruno Fernandes expected to remain a central figure and emerging talents like Alejandro Garnacho stepping up, the arrival of Cunha could offer a new dimension to United’s offensive play.

This move also signals intent from the Manchester United board to back their new manager and accelerate the squad’s transformation. Cunha’s addition is expected to be the first of several, with the Red Devils eyeing further reinforcements in both defense and midfield.

While formal contact between the clubs is expected after the final round of fixtures, all signs indicate that Matheus Cunha’s move to Old Trafford is imminent. As the Amorim era takes shape, Manchester United fans will hope this £62.5 million investment ignites a new chapter of attacking brilliance.
