Wolves forward Matheus Cunha has completed his £62.5m move to Manchester United, the club have announced.
The Red Devils confirmed that an agreement had been found with the Premier League side to sign the Brazilian forward at the start of the month, with a deal subject to a visa and registration.
But that process has now been completed, with the 26-year-old putting pen to paper on a contract until 2030 with the option of a further season at Old Trafford.

Speaking to the official Manchester United website following the announcement, the former Atletico Madrid star revealed that it is a dream come true for him to sign for the club.
“It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player.
"Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother’s house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality.
“I can’t wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my team-mates and prepare for the season ahead. All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top.”
The website also spoke to director of football Jason Wilcox about the deal, who revealed that it was a priority deal for the club during the summer transfer window.
"Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window.
"He has proved his ability to succeed in the Premier League as one of the most exciting and productive forwards in England during his time at Wolves, and, before that, in Spain and Germany. He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honours.”
Cunha was the standout performer for Wolves in the 2024/25 campaign as they battled back from a relegation battle to finish in 16th, as he scored 15 goals and registered six assists in 33 appearances in the top-flight for the Midlands club.
He'll now join up with Ruben Amorim's squad as an attacking option, as the Portuguese coach looks to take the club back to the top after a dismal Premier League campaign in which they finished 15th and finished trophyless following defeat in the Europa League final.
