Manchester United have officially won the race to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves

It’s official — Manchester United have won the race to sign Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves, bringing an end to one of the most talked-about transfer sagas of the window.

The Red Devils confirmed the deal earlier today, securing the services of the dynamic attacker as part of their summer rebuild under Erik ten Hag. The move is seen as a major boost for United’s attacking options, with Cunha’s pace, versatility, and direct playing style offering a fresh edge to their frontline.

Cunha, who enjoyed a standout season with Wolves, had attracted interest from several top clubs, but it’s United who have ultimately landed his signature after weeks of speculation and behind-the-scenes negotiations.

“We’re delighted to welcome Matheus to Manchester United,” the club announced in a statement. “His energy, technical quality, and ability to play across the forward line will be a great asset to the squad as we prepare for an important new season.”

The 24-year-old is expected to join up with his new teammates immediately for pre-season preparations, with fans eager to see how he will fit into Ten Hag’s system alongside the likes of Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Højlund.

Transfer insiders report that the deal is worth around £45 million, with Cunha signing a five-year contract at Old Trafford.

United supporters have taken to social media to celebrate the announcement, hoping Cunha’s arrival signals a statement of intent as the club looks to close the gap on the Premier League’s top sides and make a deeper run in Europe next season.

A new chapter begins for Matheus Cunha at the Theatre of Dreams.
