In place! Ruben Amorim’s first summer signing. This week we have written about all the uncertainty surrounding United players, where even the captain has been announced on his way away from Old Trafford. Now something is certain. Matheus Cunha pulls on the red shirt.
The Wolverhampton striker has been rumoured to be heading to Old Trafford for the past month, where formalities should have been left before the striker with 15 Premier League goals this season could call himself a Man Utd player. On Sunday, the confirmation came.

United themselves do not mention the price, but several English media outlets have described how United were ready to activate the Brazilian’s £62.5 million buyout clause
.
The 26-year-old has a total of 17 goals last season, a statistic that bodes well for Manchester United.
Before the Europa League final, various English media reported that Cunha was not so concerned about whether United won the Europa League final and grabbed a Champions League ticket. Now came the proof. The Brazilian would have decided on Manchester United anyway. A good and necessary starting point when part of the responsibility is placed on the shoulders of the Brazilian to give the club goals – many goals.
