BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United Secure Matheus Cunha in £62.5 Million Deal; No. 10 Shirt Assigned Amid Bruno Fernandes Exit Speculation.
Manchester United have finalized their second major signing of the summer, acquiring Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £62.5 million. The 25-year-old has agreed to a five-year contract and is set to inherit the iconic No. 10 jersey, previously worn by Marcus Rashford .
Cunha’s move to Old Trafford comes after a standout season with Wolves, where he netted 17 goals and provided six assists in 36 appearances, playing a pivotal role in the club’s Premier League survival . His dynamic playing style and versatility in the attacking third have made him a top target for United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim.
The transfer has sparked discussions about the future of Bruno Fernandes, United’s captain and midfield maestro. Reports suggest that Fernandes is considering his options amid interest from clubs abroad, including the Saudi Pro League . United’s pursuit of replacements, such as Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez and PSG’s Xavi Simons, indicates a potential shift in the club’s midfield dynamics .
In addition to Cunha, United have secured the signing of 18-year-old striker Enzo Kana Biyik from Le Havre. The young talent has agreed to a five-year deal and is expected to join the club’s youth setup with aspirations of breaking into the first team .
These acquisitions mark a significant step in United’s efforts to revamp their squad following a disappointing season that saw them finish 15th in the Premier League and miss out on European competition for the first time since the 2014/15 season .
An official announcement regarding Cunha’s signing is anticipated tomorrow, as the club finalizes the necessary formalities. United fans will be eager to see how these new additions impact the team’s performance in the upcoming season.
