Matheus Cunha has been Ruben Amorim’s top target heading into the summer transfer window.
The Brazilian forward has endured a standout season at Wolves, scoring 17 goals and providing six assists in 34 appearances.
Seen as a major upgrade on United’s current attacking options, Cunha’s versatility makes him a key piece in Amorim’s rebuild.

He can operate within Amorim’s system as one of the two 10’s, providing the creative spark that United’s strikers have been crying out for.
And with the 25-year-old already ironing out personal terms, United have been working quietly behind the scenes to secure his signature.

Now, Sky Sports News have confirmed that Cunha is set to join Manchester United after the season ends this weekend.
United are expected to trigger his £62.5m release clause.
Therefore, bypassing the need to negotiate directly with Wolves.
There’s been no formal contact between the clubs yet.
However, those steps are expected to follow once the campaign concludes.
Sky add that despite interest from elsewhere, Cunha has made it clear he wants the move to Old Trafford.

With the deal being described as “almost agreed.”
His arrival would be Amorim’s first real statement signing and could form part of a restructured attack that also features Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.
With Rasmus Hojlund struggling and linked with a return to Serie A, Cunha would thus be viewed as a solid addition due to his Premier League nous and proven experience.
United view him as a forward ready to make an instant impact – and now, it’s only a matter of time before the deal is done.
