Matheus Cunha to Join Manchester United from Wolves in £62.5M Deal – First Summer Signing of Amorim Era

Cunha becomes United’s first major summer signing under Ruben Amorim in a £62.5M deal.

Manchester United are wasting no time.

In what looks to be the beginning of a summer reset under Ruben Amorim, United have reached a full agreement to sign Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves. The deal, first revealed by Fabrizio Romano, will see United activate Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause — though the fee will be paid in structured instalments over time.

The contract is already being prepared, with Cunha set to sign a five-year deal, keeping him at Old Trafford until 2030, with an option to extend for a sixth season.

At Wolves, Cunha proved he was more than just a flair player. He became a focal point. Direct, tenacious, and unafraid to take responsibility, the 25-year-old registered 14 goals and 7 assists across all competitions — despite playing in a side often on the back foot.

Direct and fearless - Cunha’s numbers at Wolves proved he’s ready for the next level.

Now, under Amorim, he’ll be given a platform to do it with more structure — and at a higher level. The Portuguese coach is looking to rebuild this squad with players who are dynamic, press-resistant, and unselfish in the final third. Cunha fits the bill.

Let’s be honest — United aren’t looking to tweak. They’re trying to transform. And signing Cunha isn’t just about adding goals. It’s about shifting the energy of the dressing room.

Amorim wants players who bring hunger, intensity, and clarity - Cunha fits that profile.

Garnacho is on his way out. Rashford’s future remains uncertain. United finished 16th. They need new fire. New hunger. Cunha brings both.

This is the first major deal of the Ruben Amorim era — and it tells us a lot about the direction United want to go in. Not waiting for things to spiral again. Act early. Act decisively. Start putting the football first.
