The Brazilian forward has endured a standout season at Wolves, scoring 17 goals and providing six assists in 36 appearances.
Since last season, Cunha has been directly involved in 40 goals in the Premier League – a ridiculous number considering he plays for Wolves.
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 accepting personal terms, United have been working quietly behind the scenes to secure his signature.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Cunha has joined Manchester United.

United have triggered his £62.5m release clause, which will be paid in instalments.
Therefore, bypassing the need to negotiate directly with Wolves.
A verbal agreement has been reached between all the parties involved, as per Romano.
Cunha will sign a contract until June 2030 with an option to extend until 2031.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the formal contracts will be checked and signed next week.
It is understood Matheus Cunha rejected several Premier League clubs, as his heart was set on Manchester United.
Even if the contracts are signed next week, Cunha will not be able to join or take part in United preseason or training until July 1 – as per Ben Jacobs.
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.
The Red Devils view him as a forward ready to make an instant impact – and now, the deal is done.
