Breaking News: Manchester United Complete the Signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves
Manchester United have completed the signing of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal believed to be worth around £45 million. The 25-year-old becomes Erik ten Hag’s first major signing of the summer as United look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Cunha, who impressed with Wolves during the 2024/25 campaign, scored 12 goals and provided 6 assists in the Premier League, earning praise for his flair, work rate, and versatility across the front line. His ability to play as a central striker, second forward, or even out wide is expected to add much-needed dynamism to United’s attack, which has struggled for consistency in recent seasons.
The Brazilian’s arrival comes amid ongoing questions around the futures of current United forwards, with speculation continuing over the roles of Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Højlund, and Antony. Ten Hag has reportedly been a long-time admirer of Cunha’s aggressive pressing style and technical ability, viewing him as a perfect fit for his high-intensity system.
Speaking after the announcement, Cunha expressed his excitement at joining the Red Devils: “It’s a dream to play for a club with the history and ambition of Manchester United. I can’t wait to get started and help the team achieve great things.”
Cunha originally joined Wolves from Atlético Madrid in 2023 and quickly became a fan favourite at Molineux. His move to Old Trafford marks another major step in his career and signals United’s intent to return to the summit of English football.
The forward is expected to join the squad for pre-season training in July, with fans hopeful he can provide the spark needed to help United challenge both domestically and in Europe next season.
