Man United spends 62.5 million pounds, ready to welcome new player Matheus Cunha

(NLDO) - European media reported that Man United and Wolverhampton have reached an agreement to transfer striker Matheus Cunha worth 62.5 million pounds.

After a long period of contact with Matheus Cunha, Man United and Wolverhampton are carrying out the final procedures for the transfer of the Brazilian star. If everything goes smoothly, this will be Man United's first summer contract in the process of rebuilding the team under coach Ruben Amorim.

Matheus Cunha is about to become Luke Shaw's teammate

Matheus Cunha has been a key player for Wolves since joining the club two and a half years ago. The former Atletico Madrid man has scored a total of 33 Premier League goals, including 15 goals and six assists in 31 games this season.

Not only is he considered one of the most formidable strikers in the Premier League, Cunha also has the ability to cover and control the play like a world-class playmaker. He not only plays well as a striker but is also trusted by coach Vitor Pereira in the role of an attacking midfielder in addition to his ability to play as a winger.

Matheus Cunha faces Man City's defense

Matheus Cunha has refused to settle for a club as unambitious as Wolves and has repeatedly expressed his intention to leave. Arsenal and Liverpool are considered suitable clubs for the Brazilian striker but Man United have pursued him long enough, importantly, they are willing to pay more than £60 million to activate Cunha's contract release clause with Wolves.

Coach Ruben Amorim himself has made no secret of his admiration for Cunha. He was spotted chatting happily with Cunha after Man United's 0-2 defeat at Molineux last December.

The two sides even met in the tunnel at Old Trafford for the return leg last month. Amorim said that "every player" wants to play for Man United but the club's interest in Cunha suggests otherwise.

Cunha is a versatile player with leadership qualities.

If he joins Old Trafford, Matheus Cunha will almost certainly be the main striker of Man United when the team's strikers such as Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee or Alejandro Garnacho are all playing very poorly. The "Red Devils" really need a top-class striker to dream of reviving from next season.

Commenting on this contract, former player Paul Scholes said that Cunha should not go to Man United because the quality of the current team is very poor. "Cunha seems to possess the qualities that Ruben Amorim desires. Whether as a center forward or a winger, Cunha has the ability and strength to fulfill the task of scoring goals but probably not at Man United" - the former Man United midfielder affirmed.

Man United need an effective striker like Matheus Cunha

Many players are in excellent form, or at least shining in their positions, but most of them cannot develop this strength when joining Man United. Man United's working style and the development direction of this team has been and is causing the talent of many players to fade.

Newcomers almost never find themselves again while Man United players forced to leave all shine at new teams, a true paradox in the famous English team.
