Man Utd explodes first "blockbuster" in Summer 2025

(Dan Tri) - Many reputable sources say that Man Utd have agreed to pay 62.5 million pounds to release Matheus Cunha's contract at Wolves.

Immediately after the season ended, Man Utd pushed to strengthen their squad in the 2025 "summer market" to bounce back next season. According to many reputable sources in England, the Red Devils are almost certain to have the service of striker Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

The Daily Mail revealed that Man Utd have agreed to pay £62.5 million to release Matheus Cunha from his contract. The Brazilian player has agreed to join Old Trafford on a 5-year contract, with an option to extend for 1 year.

Man Utd do not have a ticket to participate in European Cup next season. That makes it very difficult for them to attract quality stars. Because of that, the Red Devils want to promote potential deals as soon as possible.

Matheus Cunha was once on Arsenal's radar in January, but now Man Utd have no notable rivals in this deal. That is why the Manchester team can soon complete the recruitment of the star born in 1999.

Adding a striker is a must for coach Ruben Amorim. That is because, last season, Man Utd was very weak in attack. The two strikers, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, were not up to the mark. These two players only scored 4 and 3 goals respectively in the last Premier League.

Meanwhile, Matheus Cunha has been a standout performer for Wolves. The Brazilian striker has scored 15 Premier League goals (17 in all competitions) for Wolves in the 2024/25 season.

Matheus Cunha's plus point is his ability to play flexibly in any position on the attack line. This striker has the ability to connect with satellites and can also operate independently.

Several sources close to Man Utd said that they will give the club's number 10 shirt to Matheus Cunha. That shows great confidence in the new Brazilian player.

After Matheus Cunha, Man Utd can still buy more strikers when Liam Delap and Viktor Gyokeres are both in the club's sights. Coach Amorim can sell all the old strikers to change the blood for the Red Devils.
