Man Utd get their man! Red Devils confirm £62.5m signing of Matheus Cunha as Ruben Amorim looks to salvage sinking ship

After weeks of reports, United have finally confirmed the transfer of Cunha, who is joining from the Midlands after the Red Devils activated his £62.5million release clause on the opening day of the transfer window.

In a statement on the club website, United said: "Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha.

"The Brazilian forward’s signing is subject to visa and registration.

"The 26-year-old has 13 senior caps for Brazil, and, in his club career, has made 270 appearances and scored 72 goals in the English, Spanish, German and Swiss top flights.

"During two-and-a-half seasons at Wolves, Cunha has scored 33 goals in 92 appearances.

"Everyone at Manchester United looks forward to welcoming Matheus to Old Trafford."

Cunha enjoyed a sterling season at Molineux, scoring 15 goals and registering six assists throughout a campaign in which Wolves finished 16th. Ironically, they ended the campaign level on points with United.

Cunha could make his first appearance for United in a pre-season friendly against Leeds on July 19.
