Manchester United are interested in signing Wolves striker Matheus Cunha. Cunha has a release clause of £62.5m, which expires this summer. Arsenal are also keeping tabs on him, but they also have Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres and Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams on their list for both the No.9 and left-back positions.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, maintain a strong interest in Cunha, but according to sources close to the player, he would prefer a move to a bigger club, even if Forest qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. Manchester United are looking for a player to fill the number 10 position in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system. To achieve this objective, Cunha's agent is expected to travel soon to hold direct talks with potential suitors, and has already made initial contact with United.
Recent events have seen Matheus Cunha sent off in an FA Cup tie after causing a clash with Milos Kerkez. His initial three-match ban was extended to four, which he completed after Saturday's win over Ipswich. Despite these struggles, Wolves have gone on a four-match unbeaten run, winning their last three games, which has left them 12 points clear of the bottom three with seven games remaining. Cunha is expected to return to action when Wolves face Tottenham at home on Sunday, as he remains the team's top scorer this season with 15 goals in all competitions.
After signing permanently from Atletico Madrid in 2023, following an initial loan spell, he extended his contract with Wolves in February, and the new four-year deal will run until the summer of 2029. However, that will not stop potential suitors such as Nottingham Forest and Arsenal from opening talks when the transfer window opens this summer.
Manchester United are the latest club to show interest in the Wolves star, while Ruben Amorim wants to strengthen the attacking options at Old Trafford, after current strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have scored just 14 goals between them this season.
