Manchester United Secure Matheus Cunha for £62.5M in Major Transfer Move
Published June 1, 2025
Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a deal worth £62.5 million. The 25-year-old has agreed to a five-year contract, with an option to extend for another year.
This marks Rúben Amorim’s first marquee signing since taking charge at Old Trafford, signalling his strong intent to reshape the squad.
Cunha had an impressive season with Wolves, showcasing his skill, adaptability, and work rate. He tallied 12 goals and 7 assists in the Premier League, drawing attention from several elite clubs. However, it was United who secured the deal.
He now becomes United’s first Brazilian striker since the days of Anderson — kind of. Fans are excited about the prospect of Cunha linking up with Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho, and Højlund in Amorim’s new attacking setup.
Cunha is expected to join the team in July for pre-season training, and more signings are anticipated as United’s rebuild gains momentum.
