Matheus Cunha to Manchester United
Manchester United have confirmed they have reached an agreement to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 26-year-old Brazilian will move to Old Trafford after signing a five-year deal with an option of a further year, and United met the terms of his £62.5million ($83.7m) release clause. As part of this summer's transfer coverage on The Athletic, in addition to breaking news, tactical analysis and in-depth reads, our Transfers TLDR series will bring you a quick guide to each of the key deals. Born in Joao Pessoa, Brazil, Cunha's journey has taken him across Europe. His career outside of his home country began at Swiss club Sion in July 2017. Ten goals in 32 matches led him to RB Leipzig a year later but, after a middling season and a half, he moved to German Bundesliga rivals Hertha Berlin in January 2020. Advertisement Fourteen goal contributions in 28 matches in 2020-21 persuaded Atletico Madrid to take a punt. He made only 11 starts in one-and-a-half seasons, then joined Wolves on loan in January 2023 before a permanent move in the summer. Cunha registered 27 goals and 13 assists across 65 Premier League matches over his two full seasons at Molineux. Anantaajith Raghuraman Cunha wears his heart on his sleeve, so expect to see plenty of passionate goal celebrations, exasperated arm waves at team-mates and feisty arguments with opponents. When in his groove, a slaloming run past four defenders before being hauled down or a curling effort from range is to be expected, too. But don't expect 20 league goals — or a clean disciplinary record. Anantaajith Raghuraman Cunha adequately fits the left attacking midfield role in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-2-1 thanks to his willingness to drop deep and drive with the ball. Cunha understands the tempo of matches, knowing when to race forward or decelerate, and is smart with his passes. United need Cunha's ability to take games by the scruff of the neck. Capable of playing as a centre-forward too, he is a clinical finisher, with a 60 per cent Opta-defined 'big-chance' conversion rate across the past two league seasons — higher than Cole Palmer (53 per cent), Alexander Isak (49), and Mohamed Salah (48). Anantaajith Raghuraman Cunha did not miss a match because of injury in 2024-25. His previous notable injury was in February 2024 when a hamstring problem ruled him out for seven weeks. Before that, he sustained a knee injury at Atletico that kept him on the sidelines for six weeks in 2022. Anantaajith Raghuraman Speaking to The Athletic's Jack Lang, former Coritiba team-mate Henrique Vermudt said: 'When he arrived — in the under-15s — we could all see he was talented, but nothing out of this world. He was just a good, solid player. 'But when he started playing for the under-20s, he changed. He turned from water into wine. He came back from his holidays in Paraiba and he was just… different. We all joked with him: 'Man, what did you do to get so good all of a sudden?'' Anantaajith Raghuraman Cunha has signed a five-year contract, with an option of a further year. United have spent £62.5million and, while they'll pay the fee in three instalments over two years, the cost on the books is spread across that five-year contract. By signing on June 1, one month's worth of the fee hits United's books in 2024-25, alongside Cunha's wages estimated to be around £200,000 per week (with pension and national insurance costs borne by United on top of that). Chris Weatherspoon Cunha's signing adds £1.9m to United's accounts in 2024-25. The forward will then cost £24.3m a year over the next five seasons — £12.3m in annual transfer fee amortisation and £12m per year in employment costs, if going by the £200,000-per-week estimate. The total cost of the deal, spanning transfer fee and wages, is estimated at £123.5m. From Wolves' perspective, the £62.5m fee translates to a profit of £41m, booked immediately in the club's 2024-25 accounts and PSR calculation. They'll also save around £570,000 in employment costs between now and the end of June. Chris Weatherspoon
