Manchester United Sign Matheus Cunha in £62.5M Deal, Eye Hugo Ekitike Next
Manchester United have officially struck a deal with Wolves to sign Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha for £62.5 million, marking a bold move to strengthen their attacking line. Cunha, praised for his flair and adaptability, has agreed to a five-year contract with an optional extra year, with personal terms finalized and a medical imminent. His arrival underscores United’s intent to rejuvenate their offense and signals a clear commitment to long-term squad evolution.
United see Cunha, 25, as the kind of high-energy, creative forward they’ve lacked. His performance at Wolves showed he can handle Premier League intensity, and the club believes he’s ready to take the next step on a bigger stage like Old Trafford.
However, while sealing the Cunha deal, United missed out on young striker Liam Delap, who has opted to join Chelsea instead. Despite early interest from United, Chelsea quickly activated the £30 million release clause following Ipswich Town’s relegation, leaving United behind.
The Red Devils aren’t slowing down though. They’re now preparing a bid in the region of €60 million for Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt. But negotiations may be tricky, as Frankfurt are reportedly holding out for €80–90 million. United view the Frenchman, known for his sharp movement and clinical finishing, as another key piece to revamp their attack.
These moves reflect a determined transfer strategy from United, who are signaling to rivals that they’re ready to spend big to return to the top. With Cunha signed and further targets in sight, fans can expect an action-packed summer as the club reshapes its future.
