A £90,000-a-week player has told Manchester United that he will join the club this summer no matter what happens in the Europa League final, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Amorim: Winning the Europa League will not solve United's problems
The Red Devils have a chance to bring some joy and achievement to their supporters on Wednesday after what has been a terrible campaign, as they face Tottenham in the Europa League final. Not only does this represent a chance for United to play European football next season, but it will also be Ruben Amorim’s first trophy as United boss, not even 12 months into his United career.

United have now moved ahead in the race to sign a new midfielder this summer.
It is a very important game for United for multiple reasons, but Amorim believes winning the Europa League will not solve all of the club’s problems: "It's strange because you have some coaches here that lose some games, and they are sacked... it's hard to explain.
"I think people see what we are trying to do. I think that people see that sometimes I'm thinking more about the club than myself.

"People understand, especially the board, that we have a lot of issues that, in the context, is really hard. There are a lot of things we need to change.
"They way we do everything during the week at Carrington, the recruitment, the academy. It is hard to point to one thing, and it will not be solved by winning the cup."
Cunha tells Man Utd he'd join regardless of Europa League outcome
As the Red Devils prepare for the Europa League final, they have already received a transfer boost regardless of the outcome. According to Fabrizio Romano, Matheus Cunha will join Man United whether qualify for the Champions League or not.
The Brazil international wants the move to Old Trafford, and the deal is expected to be confirmed fairly soon.
On Monday, Romano reported that Cunha had agreed to the project on offer at United and had also nearly finalised personal terms. It’s also been reported by Sky Sports that Cunha, who earns £90,000 a week at Molineux, is set to join the Red Devils once the Premier League ends this weekend, with United expected to trigger Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause.
Cunha’s arrival at Old Trafford is a big boost for Amorim heading into next season, as the Brazilian will no doubt improve United’s attacking options, and he appears to be the perfect player to fit into Amorim’s system, given his versatility in the forward line.
