Deal Agreed: Cunha Set to Become Manchester United's First Summer Signing

Stephen Oladehinde 14:00 - 26.05.2025

Manchester United have agreed on a deal to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matheus Cunha.

The Brazilian forward became one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market after his impressive season.

Cunha became Man United transfer target after the Red Devils' poor performance in the Premier League this season.

He is now set to join Ruben Amorim's team as the manager looks to rebuild his side for next season.

Cunha is set to become Manchester United's first signing of the summer after a verbal agreement was reached between all parties, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker has agreed to personal terms with the Red Devils and will sign a five-year contract with an option for a further season.

United will activate Cunha's £62.5 million release clause, but Wolves have accepted payment in instalments rather than a lump sum, which is typically expected when such a clause is triggered and bypasses direct club-to-club negotiations.

The final paperwork and completion of the deal are expected in the coming days, with Cunha's official unveiling as a Manchester United player anticipated when the transfer window opens on June 1st.

The Brazilian international is enjoying one of his most productive seasons to date, having tallied 17 goals and 6 assists in 36 appearances for Wolves this campaign.
