Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha is on the brink of completing a transfer to Manchester United at the end of the current season. Reports indicate that United is expected to activate Cunha's £62.5 million release clause, with the player himself eager to make the move despite interest from other clubs.

Cunha, who joined Wolves from Atletico Madrid in 2022 for around £34 million, has made a significant impact during his time in the Premier League, recording 27 goals and 13 assists in 63 appearances. As he approaches this potential transfer, he has expressed a strong desire to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, believing that Manchester United's stature will not deter him, even with their current position just two places above the relegation zone.

While there has been no official contact between Manchester United and Wolves as of yet, formal negotiations are expected to commence once the season concludes. Cunha’s preference for United has been noted, and sources close to the player suggest that he feels a strong affinity for the club.

Former United defender Gary Neville has commented on Cunha's suitability for the team, suggesting he could fill a crucial role in manager Ruben Amorim's system. With United currently in need of attacking reinforcements, Cunha’s ability to play in various positions and contribute both goals and assists makes him an attractive prospect.

As Manchester United looks to bolster their squad ahead of next season, Cunha’s arrival could signal a significant step in their efforts to reclaim their status as title contenders in the Premier League. The forward's transition from Wolves to United is set to be one of the noteworthy moves in the upcoming transfer window.
