Manchester United completed £62.5m Matheus Cunha transfer on five-year contract as Red Devils make ‘dream a reality’ for Brazil international forward.
Cunha has signed a contract until June 2030, with the option of an additional year.
“It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player,” he said.
“Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother’s house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt.
“I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality.”
Cunha scored 31 goals in 76 games in all competitions for Wolves after joining from Atletico Madrid in 2023.
“Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window,” said United director of football Jason Wilcox.
Cunha is Ruben Amorim’s first summer addition. The head coach also wishes to buy Bryan Mbeumo, though Brentford are thought to have raised the forward’s price to £70m. Viktor Gyökeres is another target, with Sporting demanding about €70m (£60m) for the No 9.
