In a massive development that has thrilled Manchester United fans worldwide, trusted transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has confirmed what many were hoping to hear: Matheus Cunha to Manchester United, here we go! The Red Devils have officially secured the services of the dynamic Brazilian forward after reaching a total agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal worth €62.5 million.
The 25-year-old attacker is now set to travel to Manchester, with medicals scheduled and a contract ready to be signed. Fabrizio Romano’s iconic “Here we go!” has ended weeks of speculation and made it official — Matheus Cunha will wear the famous red shirt next season.
United Get Their Man
Manchester United had been eyeing attacking reinforcements for the summer window, and Matheus Cunha emerged as a top priority following a standout season at Wolves. His blend of technical brilliance, work rate, and versatility made him a natural fit for United’s evolving system under Ruben Amorim.
Cunha’s form in the 2023/24 Premier League season was nothing short of impressive, tallying 12 goals and 8 assists while leading the line for a competitive Wolves side. His ability to play across the front three — as a central striker, second striker, or even a wide forward — provides Amorim with valuable flexibility in the attacking third.
According to Romano, personal terms were never an issue. Cunha made his desire clear: he only wanted Manchester United. His camp immediately rejected interest from other clubs, including offers from Serie A and La Liga, stating, “It’s United or nothing.”
Amorim’s Influence
The arrival of Ruben Amorim as Manchester United’s new manager is already making waves. Not only has he brought tactical clarity and high expectations, but he’s also influencing transfer decisions — with Cunha’s signing being a direct reflection of the system Amorim wants to implement.
Sources close to the club say Amorim was “personally involved” in the scouting and final approval of Cunha. The Portuguese coach views Cunha as a high-energy forward who fits the pressing, counter-attacking style he wants to bring to Old Trafford. Amorim reportedly told the board, “Cunha is not just a forward — he’s a system player.”
In many ways, the move signals a new era at Manchester United — one that values functionality and fit over superstardom alone.
What Cunha Brings to United
Matheus Cunha’s profile is exactly what United have lacked in recent seasons. He’s not just a goal-scorer — he’s a creator, a dribbler, and a hard worker. At Wolves, his off-the-ball movement and ability to link midfield with attack made him one of the most effective forwards in the league.
Key attributes Cunha brings to United:
Versatility: Can play as a lone striker, second striker, or winger.
Work rate: Presses relentlessly, perfect for Amorim’s high-intensity system.
Creativity: Can drop deep to create space and chances for teammates.
Dribbling: Excellent in 1v1 situations, especially in transition.
Mentality: Has a winning attitude and the hunger to succeed at the top level.
Cunha’s statistics support the excitement. In the 2023/24 season, he ranked among the top five Premier League forwards for successful dribbles and progressive carries, showing he’s not afraid to take on defenders and break lines.
The Price Tag and the Deal Structure
At €62.5 million, some might raise eyebrows — but the reality is, for a Premier League-proven forward in his prime, it’s a competitive price. The structure of the deal reportedly includes performance-related add-ons, with an initial fee of around €55M and a further €7.5M in achievable bonuses.
Wolves, while reluctant to lose their star man, accepted that the player’s desire to join United was firm. The club worked respectfully with both parties to ensure the deal was completed swiftly.
Romano confirmed that United and Cunha’s representatives were in “direct contact for weeks,” and once Amorim greenlit the move, things moved fast. Medicals are expected within the next 48 hours, with an official unveiling potentially happening by midweek.
Reaction from the United Camp
Inside the United dressing room, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Senior players reportedly see Cunha as a player who can immediately lift the level of the squad — not just with his quality, but his attitude.
Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro are believed to have already reached out to welcome Cunha, while new head coach Ruben Amorim is eager to integrate him into pre-season plans as quickly as possible.
“He’s got the United mentality,” said one source at the club. “He works hard, he’s hungry, and he wants to win. That’s exactly the kind of player Amorim wants to build around.”
What This Means for United’s Attack
With Cunha in the fold, United now have options — and competition — in attack. His arrival will give Rasmus Højlund the chance to develop without pressure, while also offering a potential front two dynamic for Amorim to experiment with.
Players like Garnacho, Rashford, and Sancho will benefit from Cunha’s intelligent movement and ability to create overloads. For fans, it means more fluid attacking play, more pressing from the front, and hopefully, more goals.
There’s also the possibility of a tactical switch. Amorim has previously used a 3-4-3 system, and Cunha’s versatility makes him a valuable asset in both wide and central roles. Expect to see United become far more unpredictable next season.
The Fans React
As soon as Romano dropped the tweet, Manchester United fans erupted across social media. “WE GOT HIM” trended within minutes, with thousands of fans sharing highlight reels and welcome messages.
One fan wrote, “Cunha only wanted United. That says it all. He’s one of us already.” Another added, “Amorim’s plan is coming together. Fast, technical, passionate — we’re building something again.”
It’s been a long time since optimism felt this real around Old Trafford — but Cunha’s arrival seems to signal that things are, finally, moving in the right direction.
Final Word
This is more than just a transfer — it’s a statement. Matheus Cunha chose Manchester United over every other option. United, in turn, made him their priority and closed the deal early.
With Amorim at the helm, and Cunha on the pitch, a new chapter is beginning at Old Trafford. And it starts not with promises — but with action.
Welcome to Manchester, Matheus Cunha. It’s time to show the world what we’re building.
