Manchester United have reached a full agreement to sign Brazilian forward Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal worth £67 million, as the Red Devils make a bold statement early in the summer transfer window.

Sources confirm that Cunha has agreed personal terms on a contract that will run until June 2030, with the final paperwork being prepared between both clubs. The deal is structured with the £67 million fee to be paid in three installments across the next three years, making it a smart financial move by United’s hierarchy amid ongoing FFP considerations.

Medical tests for Cunha are expected to be scheduled next week, with the 25-year-old already preparing to join Erik ten Hag’s (or his successor’s) squad for pre-season once the formalities are completed.

The Brazil international enjoyed a standout campaign with Wolves last season, scoring 12 Premier League goals and contributing several assists, becoming one of the most dynamic attacking forces outside the traditional top six. His dribbling, directness, and versatility across the front line have made him a long-time target for United, who are eager to add more firepower and creativity to their attack.

Cunha’s arrival is part of Manchester United’s broader plan to revamp their frontline and ease the goalscoring burden on Rasmus Højlund. He can operate as a central striker, second forward, or even off the wing — offering tactical flexibility and flair that fans at Old Trafford have been craving.

This signing marks the first major move of the summer for United, with INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s sporting team clearly intent on backing the club with top-level talent.

Matheus Cunha is RED.

A new chapter begins.

Stay tuned, United fans — the rebuild is in full swing.
