Manchester United Close to Stunner! Wolves Give Green Light as £62.5M Star Matheus Cunha Heads for Medical—Deal to Be Finalised After Release Clause Triggered!

Manchester United Clear to Finalise Matheus Cunha Signing After Wolves Accept £62.5M Clause—Medical Imminent

Manchester United are on the brink of securing their first major summer signing, with Wolves officially granting permission for Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha to undergo a medical at Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old attacker, who was a top target for manager Ruben Amorim, is set to make a high-profile switch after United triggered the full terms of his £62.5 million release clause. Talks had initially stalled over the payment structure, as United hoped to spread the fee across five years, while Wolves stood firm on the two-year payment schedule stipulated in Cunha’s deal.

Fortunately for United, that hurdle has now been overcome. According to David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano, all parties have reached a full agreement, with the deal now in its final stages. Cunha is expected to sign a five-year contract, marking the beginning of what could be a transformative summer window for the club.

Cunha’s versatility—capable of playing both as a striker and in the No. 10 role—was a key factor in United’s pursuit, especially given their well-documented struggles in front of goal throughout the 2024/25 season.

As things stand, Matheus Cunha will be Manchester United’s first signing under Amorim, signalling a proactive start to their rebuild and a commitment to early business in the window.
