Manchester United could return for 25-year-old Wolves attacker Matheus Cunha at the end of the season after pursuing him in January.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed to Give Me Sport that Manchester United enquired about Matheus in the winter transfer window, but the move did not go through. They are expected to return for him in the summer, and according to Football Insider, Wolverhampton Wanderers will likely sell him later this year.
The Brazilian attacker has 15 goal contributions this season, and he has been a key player for Wolves. It is no surprise that top clubs are keen on securing his signature. He has shown that he is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the country.
Wolves are currently fighting for their survival in the Premier League, and a player of his calibre deserves to play at a higher level. The opportunity to play for Manchester United will be hard to turn down for him.
Cunha has a £62.5 million release clause in his contract, and Manchester United will have to pay up if they want to sign him. The Red Devils have the financial muscle to get the deal done and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an official offer at the end of the season. The player is likely to be excited about the possibility of joining one of the biggest clubs in the world. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Manchester United need reinforcements
Manchester United have struggled in the attack, and players like Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund has been quite underwhelming. Signing a quality attacker will be a priority for them and Cunha is the type of dynamic attacker they are crying out for.
The 25-year-old is capable of operating centrally as well as in the wide areas. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net consistently as well. Playing alongside top-class players at Manchester United will only help him improve further.
The 25-year-old is entering his peak years, and he will want to compete for trophies regularly. Manchester United could provide him with that platform. The reported valuation seems quite steep and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United are willing to pay up.
Cunha will look to test himself at the highest level, and the move to Old Trafford would be ideal for him in the summer. He has been linked with other Premier League clubs as well, and it remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.
Wolves are one of the favourites to go down this season and they will struggle to keep a player of his calibre especially if they go down to the Championship.
