Here are the key details to know about the rumoured possible transfer of Wolves forward Matheus Cunha to Man United.
Man United appears to be making their first major move of the 2025 June summer transfer window, with Brazilian and Wolves forward Matheus Cunha reportedly on the verge of joining the Red Devils as new details continue to emerge. According to multiple sources, one of which is Fabrizio Romano, a verbal agreement is already in place between Manchester United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the player himself.
The deal, if finalised, would see Cunha swap Molineux for Old Trafford in what promises to be one of the more significant attacking reinforcements of United’s new era.
How much will Man United pay as transfer fees for Cunha?
Manchester United are set to activate the £62.5 million clause embedded in Cunha’s contract with Wolves, a full release clause that will be paid in structured instalments. While payment terms remain private, the total valuation reflects United’s willingness to invest in rebuilding under the new head coach, Ruben Amorim.
Wolves, who signed Cunha permanently from Atlético Madrid in 2023 after an initial loan, stand to make a sizable profit on the 25-year-old.
How many years will Man United sign Cunha for?
Cunha is expected to sign a five-year contract with Manchester United, running through to June 2030. The deal also includes a club option to extend the agreement by a further year, potentially keeping the forward at Old Trafford until June 2031.
The long-term contract signals a strong show of faith from United, who are keen to avoid short-term fixes and instead build a more stable, future-facing squad.
How much with Cunha earn at Man United?
While final salary figures have not yet been disclosed, early reports indicate that Cunha could earn in the region of £180,000 per week if he joins Man United in the June 2025 summer transfer window. This would position him within United’s second-highest wage tier, below earners like Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, but comfortably ahead of younger players still on development contracts.
What’s Next?
According to reports, all that is left for the Cunha to Man United transfer deal to be finalised are medical tests and formal documentation, but with the core agreement reportedly wrapped up, an official announcement could be imminent. Once confirmed, Matheus Cunha will join a Manchester United side eager to rebuild momentum and sharpen their attack heading into the 2025/2026 season.
