Matheus Cunha all but confirms Manchester United transfer after Wolves' bid rejection

Matheus Cunha is on the verge of a high-profile transfer to Manchester United after Wolves rejected the club's initial bid. The 26-year-old Brazilian forward has had a standout season, scoring 17 goals and providing six assists, making him one of the top Brazilian scorers in Premier League history alongside Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Martinelli.

Cunha shared an emotional message with Wolves fans, calling this his "best season" and signaling his readiness for a new challenge at one of football's biggest clubs. Despite Wolves' rejection, Manchester United remains determined to secure the signing.

Financial negotiations have been complicated by Manchester United's request to spread Cunha's release clause payment over five years instead of the required two, reflecting the club's ongoing financial constraints.

"I became the Brazilian with the most goals in a Premier League season, along with @roberto_firmino and @gabriel.martinelli," Cunha stated, highlighting his impressive form.

Wolves manager Ruben Amorim has been eager to strengthen his attacking options, but the club appears resigned to losing Cunha to a bigger club. The transfer would mark a significant step in Cunha's career, moving from a mid-table Premier League side to a global football powerhouse.

As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on the finalization of this deal, which could reshape Manchester United's attacking lineup for the upcoming season.
