Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brazil forward Matheus Cunha
Manchester United have agreed a deal with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Brazil forward Matheus Cunha.
The 26-year-old winger is set to become the struggling English Premier League (EPL) club’s first signing of the summer.
According to BBC Sport, Cunha was signed after Man United activated his £62.5 million release clause.
The forward’s signing is subject to visa and registration. He will also be signing a five-year deal at Old Trafford, with the option of a further 12 months.

United also announced the development on Sunday. The club reeled out the former Atletico Madrid player’s records as they welcomed Cunha, who was voted Wolves’ player of the season for the just-concluded 2024/25 season.
“Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha,” the statement reads.
“The Brazilian forward’s signing is subject to visa and registration.

“The 26 year-old has 13 senior caps for Brazil, and, in his club career, has made 270 appearances and scored 72 goals in the English, Spanish, German and Swiss top flights. During two-and-a-half seasons at Wolves, Cunha has scored 33 goals in 92 appearances.
“Everyone at Manchester United looks forward to welcoming Matheus to Old Trafford.”
Cunha leaves Wolves, a struggling EPL club that finished in 16th position, for a Manchester United side that ended their worst-ever EPL season in 15th position, and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham, ensuring the Red Devils will play no European football next season.
Cunha, a gold medalist with the Brazil U23 team at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, has won no trophy in his senior football career.
