MU replaces Garnacho with 60 million pound star

According to The Athletic, Manchester United are preparing a surprise move by putting Matheus Cunha, a striker currently playing for Wolverhampton Wanderers, on their priority list for the summer transfer window of 2025.

In the context of Marcus Rashford being sold and Alejandro Garnacho's unsatisfactory performance, coach Ruben Amorim and the Man United board of directors are actively looking for a player who can take on one of the two attacking midfield positions in the 3-4-2-1 formation.

Matheus Cunha, who had an explosive season at Molineux, is considered the ideal option. The player born in 1999 and Amad Diallo can become the attacking midfielder duo, supporting the center forward of MU from next season.

Cunha is wanted by MU.

Cunha, 25, has made a strong impression in the 2024/25 season with 14 goals and eight assists in 36 games in all competitions for Wolves.

Not only outstanding in scoring ability, the 25-year-old star also impresses with his speed, dribbling technique, and ability to apply high pressure. These are qualities that are very suitable for the philosophy that Coach Amorim is pursuing at Old Trafford.

Besides, Cunha's versatility is also a big plus. He can play flexibly in many positions on the attack, from center forward to second striker or winger. This is the factor that helps the Brazilian player be highly appreciated.

Wolves value Cunha at around £60m, nearly double the £35m they paid to buy him from Atletico Madrid in early 2023. As for Manchester United, the Old Trafford team is ready to make an attractive offer, including doubling the player's current salary (£60,000/week) to convince him to move to Old Trafford.

If the deal goes through, Cunha could be an exciting addition to the Red Devils' squad under new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is keen to bring in young, hungry players who fit the fast-paced style of play that Amorim wants to build at United.
