Matheus Cunha Manchester United transfer discussions are heating up, with Fabrizio Romano confirming the club are in "active talks" to bring the Wolves forward to Old Trafford this summer. United are working on personal terms and negotiating a structure to meet Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause.

Man Utd Push Forward With Summer Transfer Plans

Regardless of Europa League success or Champions League qualification, Manchester United remain intent on strengthening their attack. Cunha has been identified as their top target and United are keen to act quickly in the early stages of the summer window.

Romano reports that while United are still waiting to trigger the release clause, talks are focused on rescheduling payments to remain compliant with Financial Fair Play.

“Conversations remain absolutely ongoing between Man United and Matheus Cunha. The clause is £62.5m, and United would ideally like to reschedule the payment terms.” — Fabrizio Romano, via CaughtOffside

Current Club Wolves
Contract Talks Ongoing
Cunha’s Stance Open to Manchester United move
  • £62.5 Million Clause: United are negotiating a payment structure to meet Cunha’s release clause.
  • Romano Confirms Talks: Fabrizio Romano says the deal is “ongoing” between player and club.
  • Champions League Not a Factor: United’s pursuit is independent of European qualification results.

Cunha Open to Old Trafford Move
The 25-year-old Brazilian has shown strong interest in joining United, and personal terms are not expected to be a stumbling block. Cunha’s attacking flexibility and Premier League experience make him a highly valued target for Amorim, especially with United eager to improve creativity and goal output in 2025.

How Cunha Would Fit in Amorim’s Plans
Amorim has made it clear he wants more attacking options. Cunha’s ability to play as a forward or an attacking midfielder fits the tactical profile United are building for 2025–26. Even if they miss out on the Champions League, the club budgeted with no European competition in mind, meaning this move remains financially viable.

Manchester United’s pursuit of Matheus Cunha is gathering pace as they look to land a marquee summer signing. With Fabrizio Romano confirming talks are active and the player open to the move, this is one to watch closely.
