Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Brazilian attacker Matheus Cunha from Wolves in the summer transfer window.
Matheus Cunha has done quite well in the Premier League this season, and he has 20 goal contributions in all competitions. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester United are now closing in on a move for the Brazilian international.
The attacker has a £62.5 million release clause in his contract, and Manchester United will have to pay if they want to get the deal done. The report claims that the player is on the radar of Newcastle United as well, but an agreement is close with Manchester United, as per Daily Mail.
It is no secret that Manchester United need a reliable attacker in the summer. Players like Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have been quite underwhelming, and Matheus Cunha could prove to be an upgrade on both players. Furthermore, the 25-year-old is well settled in the Premier League, and he will be able to make an instant impact if he joins Manchester United.
Manchester United need a quality attacker like Cunha
The Red Devils need a top-class attacker if they want to fight for trophies and return to the UEFA Champions League. The Brazilian could be the ideal acquisition for them. He is capable of operating across the front three, and his versatility will be a bonus. The reported £62.5 million asking price might seem steep for the player, but he has the potential to justify the investment.
The player has shown his quality in the Premier League with Wolves, and he wants to take the next step in his career now. He is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the country, and moving to Manchester United would be ideal. Even though the Red Devils have not been at their best, they have formidable resources, and the Brazilian will be hoping to fight for major trophies with them in the coming seasons.
Meanwhile, the interest from Newcastle United is hardly a surprise. The Magpies have been overly dependent on Alexander Isak in recent seasons, and they need more quality on the side. The Tyneside outfit are pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification, and they will need more depth in order to do well across multiple competitions.
