Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha, as they look to bolster their attack ahead of the new season, per the Daily Mail.

The Brazilian has been a standout performer for Wolves, netting 16 goals and providing 4 assists across all competitions this season. His versatility across the frontline makes him an attractive option for United boss Ruben Amorim, who is said to be eager to work with the 25-year-old.

United Eye Early Agreement Amid Arsenal Interest

Cunha has reportedly made his intentions clear about leaving Molineux, but Wolves are playing hardball. The Midlands club are expected to demand the full £58 million release clause written into the striker’s contract earlier this year.

Manchester United, aware of Wolves’ tough stance, are keen to negotiate swiftly to avoid a bidding war. Time is of the essence, especially with Arsenal also in the mix, having shown strong interest in the Brazilian during the January transfer window.

Cunha’s proven Premier League pedigree and creative flair could be just what United need to reignite their attacking threat. But with a hefty fee and rival clubs circling, the Red Devils will have to act decisively to land their man.
