Manchester United complete £62.5m signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves

Manchester United have officially completed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves. The Brazil forward has finalised his 62.5m move from Wolves, subject to visa and registration, and a statement was released on Sunday afternoon. Cunha, 28, passed his medical last week and is United’s first statement of intent in a big summer as they seek to rebuild under Ruben Amorim. Cunha will become Ruben Amorim’s first signing of the summer as he looks to rebuild a squad that finished 15th in the Premier League. Cunha netted 33 times in 92 appearances for Wolves after initially joining from Atletico Madrid on loan in January 2023. He penned a deal permanently at the end of that season for up to 40m euros (35m). A brief statement from United read: ‘Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha. ‘The Brazilian forward’s signing is subject to visa and registration. The 26 year-old has 13 senior caps for Brazil, and, in his club career, has made 270 appearances and scored 72 goals in the English, Spanish, German and Swiss top flights.  ‘During two-and-a-half seasons at Wolves, Cunha has scored 33 goals in 92 appearances. ‘Everyone at Manchester United looks forward to welcoming Matheus to Old Trafford.’ It is believed United will pay Wolves in three instalments of 20.85m over two years after the Molineux club rejected an offer to stagger the payment over five years.  The Red Devils had already agreed personal terms with the Brazilian international and he could now receive Marcus Rashford’s No 10 shirt.The post Manchester United complete 62.5m signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
