Matheus Cunha, the Brazilian forward currently starring for Wolverhampton Wanderers, is reportedly on the verge of joining Manchester United this summer. According to Give Me Sport, Cunha has prioritized a transfer to Old Trafford, putting Arsenal’s hopes of landing the player in jeopardy.
Cunha has enjoyed a standout season at Wolves, scoring 17 goals and providing 6 assists in 34 appearances. His impressive form has made him one of the most sought-after attackers in the Premier League. Although Arsenal has shown interest, the Brazilian is reportedly keen on making the move to United, regardless of the club’s current status in European competitions.
“Matheus Cunha has prioritized a transfer to United, regardless of their current situation,” said Give Me Sport.
At present, Cunha earns £90,000 per week at Wolves, but his wages are expected to rise significantly should he complete a transfer to Manchester United. His playing style, particularly as an attacking midfielder, aligns well with the needs of United, making him a valuable addition to their squad. With creative players like Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount already in place, Cunha could thrive in a setup that enhances his strengths.
For Arsenal, this transfer news comes as a blow, as the club was hoping to strengthen their attack with the Brazilian. However, Cunha’s preference for Manchester United leaves them with fewer options. As United continues to rebuild, Cunha could be one of the key pieces in their long-term plans.
