Monday, June 2, 2025 - Manchester
United have officially completed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
The Brazil forward has finalised his £62.5m move
from Wolves, subject to visa and registration, and a statement was
released on Sunday afternoon.
Cunha, 28, passed his medical last week and is United's
first statement of intent in a big summer as they seek to rebuild
under Ruben Amorim.
Cunha will become Ruben Amorim's first signing of the summer
as he looks to rebuild a squad that finished 15th in the Premier League.
Cunha netted 33 times in 92 appearances for Wolves after
initially joining from Atletico Madrid on loan in January 2023.
He penned a deal permanently at the end of that season for
up to 40m euros (£35m).
A brief statement from United read: 'Manchester United has
reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus
Cunha.
'The Brazilian forward's signing is subject to visa and
registration. The 26 year-old has 13 senior caps for Brazil, and, in his club
career, has made 270 appearances and scored 72 goals in the English, Spanish,
German and Swiss top flights.
'During two-and-a-half seasons at Wolves, Cunha has scored
33 goals in 92 appearances.
'Everyone at Manchester United looks forward to welcoming
Matheus to Old Trafford.'
It is believed United will pay Wolves in three instalments
of £20.85m over two years after the Molineux club rejected an offer to stagger
the payment over five years.
The Red Devils had already agreed personal terms with the Brazilian international and he could now receive Marcus Rashford's No 10 shirt.
