    WHAT HAPPENED?

    United have struggled for consistency up front this term. With high profile signings Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund failing to nail down the number 9 position, as they have scored just six league goals between them, the Old Trafford club are considering triggering the Brazilians' £62.5 million ($82m) release clause. With Cunha under contract until 2029, Wolves are under no pressure to settle for a lower price.
