Matheus Cunha’s transfer to Manchester United from Wolves is reportedly close to being finalized, marking a major step in United’s summer business.
According to trusted football journalist Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between both clubs are progressing positively.
The deal is said to be in its final phase. United is confident that Cunha will be their first signing of the summer window.
“All parties involved – including the player’s representatives, United’s board, and key figures like Ruben Amorim – are aligned and moving in the same direction,” Romano shared in an update.
Globo reported that the transfer discussions have made “significant” progress and are now in the closing stages.
One major reason behind the club’s keen interest is Cunha’s suitability for new manager Ruben Amorim’s system.
Amorim prefers the 3-4-2-1 formation, and Cunha is already well-versed in that style of play.
In addition, Amorim has previously expressed admiration for Cunha’s gameplay.
He has highlighted the forward’s ability to adapt across several attacking roles and his steady goal contribution.
Cunha’s versatility has made him a consistent target for top clubs, but United’s interest seems to have been fueled further by Amorim’s belief in his potential.
Furthermore, they were also spotted again chatting in the tunnel at Old Trafford on Sunday, raising eyebrows about a possible move.
Amorim’s open body language and the mutual respect between both men have only added more heat to the transfer rumor.
Nothing is confirmed until the final HERE WE GO!
