Manchester United are reportedly setting their sights on Wolverhampton Wanderers' dynamic forward Matheus Cunha as manager Erik ten Hag seeks to strengthen his squad ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
United's Attacking Reinforcements
The Red Devils are believed to be monitoring the Brazilian international following his impressive debut season at Molineux, where he netted 12 Premier League goals. With Anthony Martial's departure and uncertainty surrounding other attacking players, Cunha has emerged as a potential target.
Pre-Season Preparations Underway
As United prepare for their upcoming pre-season tour, which includes a high-profile friendly against arch-rivals Liverpool in Los Angeles, Ten Hag is keen to resolve his transfer business early. The Dutchman wants new signings integrated before the squad flies to the US on July 24.
Amorim Also on United's Radar
In addition to player recruitment, Sporting Lisbon's highly-rated manager Ruben Amorim remains on United's shortlist as a potential successor to Ten Hag should the club decide to make a change. The Portuguese tactician has impressed with his work in Lisbon, leading them to a league title last season.
Cunha's Potential Impact
The 25-year-old Cunha would offer United versatility across the frontline, capable of playing as a central striker or in wider positions. His physicality and technical ability could provide the perfect complement to Rasmus Hojlund in United's attack.
Wolves are understood to value their star attacker at around £60 million, a figure that may test United's resolve given their need to strengthen multiple areas of the squad while complying with Financial Fair Play regulations.
