Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha will undergo his medical tests today ahead of joining Manchester United this summer, according to United insider Sully.
The Brazilian will finalise his paperwork over the weekend in order to complete the move to join the Red Devils after both clubs reached an agreement earlier this month, and an official announcement is expected in the coming weeks.

Man United have agreed personal terms with him after triggering his £62.5 million release clause, and it will be paid in three instalments of £20.85m over two years.
Cunha will become the first signing of the 2025 summer transfer window for the Old Trafford club, and a couple of quality additions are expected over the coming weeks.
The 26-year-old ended 2024-25 with 15 Premier League goals and six assists, and Man United head coach Ruben Amorim will be getting a solid number 10 in him.
A number 9 is also on their radar at the Theatre of Dreams, and Paul Ince has suggested that they sign Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins after Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap opted to move to Chelsea because of Champions League football.
Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is also an option, but Man United will face competition for the services of the Frenchman and will be hoping to pip suitors to him.
The Red Devils need top players if Amorim is to impress in his first full season in charge, and they also have to hold on to their best player and captain, Bruno Fernandes, amid reports he could be tempted to join Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.
