Another Premier League giant joins Arsenal in Matheus Cunha transfer battle
Manchester United are interested in signing Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, talkSPORT understands. Cunha has a release clause of £62.5million, which kicks in this summer. Cunha is attracting interest from United ahead of the summerGetty Arsenal have also been keeping tabs on Cunha but the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams area ahead of him on their list in both the number nine and left-wing positions. Nottingham Forest retain a firm interest in Cunha, but it’s understood from those close the player that he prefers to join a big-six club, even if Forest qualify for the Champions League. United are looking for a number 10 to fit into Ruben Amorim’s rigid 3-4-2-1 system. It is understood Cunha’s agent will fly to England soon for face-to-face talks with potential suitors, and has already made some initial contact with United. The 25-year-old has missed Wolves’ last four matches through suspension following his sending off against Bournemouth. Cunha was dismissed in the FA Cup fifth round tie after an altercation with Milos Kerkez. His three-match ban was then extended to four, which he completed following Saturday’s win at Ipswich. Wolves have since gone on a four-match unbeaten run including wins in each of their last three fixtures. Those victories have seen Vitor Pereira’s side move 12 points clear of the bottom three with seven matches remaining. Cunha will be available to return to action at home to Tottenham on Sunday. Cunha signed a new four-year deal at Molineux in FebruaryGetty Despite the absence, he remains Wolves’ top scorer this season with 15 strikes across all competitions. Having signed permanently from Atletico Madrid in 2023 following an initial loan spell, he extended his stay back in February. Cunha’s new four-year deal is set to run through until the summer of 2029. However, it is unlikely to prevent potential suitors from launching approaches this summer. Nottingham Forest and Arsenal have also been linked with moves for Cunha once the transfer window re-opens. United are now the latest club to show an interest in signing the Wolves star. Cunha has been the star for Wolves this season Amorim is keen to bolster his attacking options as he continues his Old Trafford rebuild. Current strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have scored just 14 goals between them across all competitions this season.
