Matheus Cunha will join Manchester United after the club agreed to pay Wolves the forward’s £62.5m release clause. The Brazilian has been in Manchester to finalise the details of a five-year contract, with the option of an additional year, after passing a medical. The deal will formally be completed once the 26-year-old returns from international duty.
United announced the imminent signing on their website on Sunday, saying: “Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian forward’s signing is subject to visa and registration. Everyone at Manchester United looks forward to welcoming Matheus to Old Trafford.”
