The Wolves star’s father gave a major clue about the Brazilian’s next destination, which could have significantly advanced Matheus Cunha’s planned summer transfer to Manchester United.
Given United’s offensive difficulties in the Premier League this season, Ruben Amorim is aiming to restructure his forward line this summer. He is targeting a new number nine as well as another playmaker.
As TEAMtalk previously revealed, a contract is reportedly nearing agreement for Cunha, a Molineux favorite who can cover both of those duties. In a new development, however, Cunha’s father, Carmelo, has fueled speculation that a Man Utd swap would soon materialize.
Carmelo himself gave the post a “like,” adding to the rumors about Cunha’s next stop. One of the most popular comments on the post said, “Welcome to United.” When Cunha signed a new long-term contract with Wolves in February, his £62.5 million departure clause became active.
Matheus Cunha to Man Utd gets Huge thumbs up after new twist
If everything goes according to plan, Cunha might soon be United’s first summer acquisition. Rumor has it that the 25-year-old will sign. Although further specifics need to be finalized, Ruben Amorim has made it apparent in internal talks with the club how highly he values Cunha.
Even though Berta, the manager of Arsenal, expressed admiration for the player, it appears that many other targets are also being considered at the Emirates Stadium, making United the current favorite.
United will undoubtedly need more offensive reinforcements this summer, even if Cunha appears to be a true coup. After going on loan in January, Marcus Rashford and Antony are probably not coming back, and it may be necessary to replace underwhelming players like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
Cunha can play a number of positions, including out wide and up front, but United would benefit from having another versatile center forward who can score more than 25 goals per season.
