Details of Matheus Cunha to Man United deal
Cunha is set to become the first Ineos signing to break the £60 million barrier, but his arrival will still not take a huge bite out of the summer budget.
United will pay Cunha’s fee in instalments, with the Red Devils pushing for it to be spread over five years.
With United close to their PSR limits, spreading the cost of Cunha’s fee will help to reserve funds for further summer signings.
