Manchester United have completed the £62.5m transfer of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, marking their first major signing of the summer under Ruben Amorim's management.
Cunha, a boyhood Manchester United fan, has signed a five-year deal with an option to extend until 2031, expressing his delight at joining his favourite English team.
