Fabrizio Romano confirms it — Arsenal hijack attempt fails as United secure key signing!
Manchester United have clinched a massive deal for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, with Fabrizio Romano confirming the news live with his signature “Here We Go!” The Red Devils will pay £62.5 million plus £5 million in add-ons, fending off a dramatic late bid from Arsenal to land the dynamic Brazilian.

Medical: Expected within 48 hours
Personal Terms: Already agreed
Official Announcement: Imminent
Player Profile:
Cunha, 25, lit up the Premier League with 12 goals and 7 assists last season. His versatility, relentless pressing, and creative spark make him a perfect fit for Rúben Amorim’s system at Old Trafford. He can operate across all attacking positions, providing depth and explosiveness to United’s frontline.
Arsenal’s Failed Attempt:
Arsenal made a late approach in an attempt to hijack the move but were too late, as Cunha had already committed to the Manchester United project. His preference for the Red Devils was reportedly influenced by their vision under Amorim and the promise of a central attacking role.

The signing has caused a frenzy on social media, with United fans calling it a “statement signing” to kick off a transformative summer. Cunha is expected to play a key role in United’s rebuild under Amorim, especially with concerns around the long-term fitness of Anthony Martial and inconsistency from Rasmus Højlund.
With paperwork underway and the medical set, Cunha-to-United is 99% DONE — official confirmati
on now just a matter of time.
