United close in on Wolves star as medicals loom, long-term contract signals Ten Hag’s rebuild plan.
Manchester United are on the verge of signing Matheus Cunha from Wolves in what could be a pivotal addition to their attacking lineup. Sources close to the club suggest a deal lasting until 2030, with an option to extend until 2031, is nearly complete — showcasing serious belief in the Brazilian’s potential.
Cunha, 25, has been a standout performer in a turbulent Wolves side, registering key goals and assists while showcasing the flair, movement, and pressing intensity that fits Erik ten Hag’s tactical vision. He is expected to either partner or provide competition for Rasmus Højlund, who has struggled with consistency this season.
> “Talks have progressed rapidly,” a source told reporters. “It’s just a matter of finalizing the formalities now.”
United’s interest follows a strategic push for youthful, energetic talents as the club looks to rebound from a disappointing campaign. Cunha’s arrival could inject dynamism and depth into an attack often lacking imagination and sharpness.
Medicals are reportedly being scheduled, and the official unveiling could come within days, pending agreement on final clauses and image rights.
