Manchester United Completes £62.5m Matheus Cunha Transfer from Wolves

Manchester United has officially signed Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £62.5 million, marking their first new signing of the 2025 summer transfer window under coach Ruben Amorim. Cunha, who has signed a contract until June 2030 or 2031 depending on the source, expressed his lifelong dream of playing for United, a team he admired since childhood watching Premier League matches in Brazil. Despite missing out on UEFA competitions this season, the club is prepared to invest further in the squad, with possible additional signings like Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and potential departures including Marcus Rashford and Antony to balance finances. United’s football director Jason Wilcox highlighted Cunha’s proven Premier League success and his qualities as key to building a competitive and dynamic team. Cunha is eager to start pre-season and contribute to United's efforts to return to the top of English and European football. The signing puts additional pressure on existing forwards like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee to deliver on their transfer fees.
