With the Premier League season winding down, several top-flight clubs are already mapping out their transfer strategies—and Wolves forward Matheus Cunha is attracting serious attention.
Cunha’s Breakout Season Turns Heads
Cunha has been on fire this season, racking up 15 goals in just 29 appearances for Wolves across all competitions.
That kind of form doesn’t go unnoticed, especially when it comes from a 25-year-old with plenty of room to grow.
United’s Longstanding Interest Resurfaces
Manchester United’s interest isn’t new—it actually dates back to January, when early reports hinted at a potential move to Old Trafford.
As things stand, the Red Devils remain firmly in the race to land the Brazilian forward.
Wolves Standing Firm on Price Tag
Cunha’s contract with Wolves runs through to June 2029, but there’s a £62.5 million release clause baked into that deal.
Unless someone activates that clause, Wolves are expected to hold out for the full amount and aren’t likely to settle for less.
Not Just United: Several Clubs in the Mix
It’s not just United hoping to snap him up. Newcastle, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, and Tottenham Hotspur are all reportedly monitoring Cunha’s situation closely.
It’s shaping up to be a fierce competition this summer.
United May Need to Offload First
For Manchester United, bringing in Cunha could require making space in both the squad and the budget.
Selling a high-profile player might be necessary to fund the move.
One name that’s been mentioned is Marcus Rashford, currently out on loan at Aston Villa.
Other possibilities include letting go of loanees Antony and Jadon Sancho—should suitable offers come in.
Even younger talents like Rasmus Hojlund or Alejandro Garnacho could be considered sellable if the right price is offered.
United Exploring More Forward Options
Cunha isn’t the only attacking option United have on their radar.
Another name that’s emerged is Liam Delap, the former Manchester City striker currently at Ipswich Town.
Should Ipswich be relegated—which looks increasingly likely—Delap could be available for around £30 million.
What’s Next?
The summer window promises to be busy, and Matheus Cunha’s name will likely keep popping up in transfer conversations.
With multiple clubs circling and Wolves standing their ground on the price, it’s going to be interesting to see who makes the first move.
