Manchester United Secure £67M Deal for Brazilian Star Matheus Cunha
Manchester United have finalized a deal to sign Brazilian forward Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a transfer worth £67 million, signaling their intent early in the summer window.
The 25-year-old has agreed to personal terms on a contract running until June 2030, with paperwork currently being completed between the clubs.
The transfer fee will be paid in three installments over the next three years—allowing United to navigate Financial Fair Play regulations smartly.
Cunha is expected to undergo his medical next week and will join the squad for pre-season under Erik ten Hag or his possible successor once the move is made official.
After a stellar season at Wolves—where he netted 12 goals and provided several assists—Cunha emerged as one of the most exciting attackers outside the Premier League’s traditional top sides.
Known for his dribbling, pace, and positional versatility, the Brazilian can play through the middle, behind a striker, or out wide—traits that have long attracted interest from United.
His addition is seen as part of United’s push to bolster their attacking options and ease the pressure on Rasmus Højlund. Cunha’s dynamic style and creativity offer a much-needed spark to the Red Devils’ frontline.
This move represents the first significant signing under the INEOS-led sporting restructure, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team aiming to bring top-tier talent to Old Trafford.
Matheus Cunha is officially Manchester United’s newest attacking weapon.
