Rio Ferdinand names established Man United star who will 'lose his shirt number to Matheus Cunha' after £62.5m transfer was confirmed

Rio Ferdinand admitted he fears for the future of one Manchester United player set to lose his shirt number to new signing Matheus Cunha. United confirmed the £62.5million arrival of Cunha after striking a deal with Wolves and the forward is set to complete his move once he returns from international duty. The 26-year-old will become Ruben Amorim 's first arrival of the summer after United triggered his release clause, and he will sign an initial five-year contract. Cunha was spotted leaving the Lowry Hotel in Salford with his pregnant partner on Sunday afternoon before joining up with his Brazil team-mates. Desperate to address his side's lack of goals, Amorim moved quickly to swoop for Cunha, but his arrival could all but guarantee a current United ace makes way. The man in question, of course, is Marcus Rashford, who joined Aston Villa on loan in January after a breakdown in his relationship with the United head coach. Delivering his verdict on Cunha's signing, Ferdinand told his TikTok followers: 'One of the few players I mentioned a few weeks ago, if I had a shopping list, he would be on there. He knows the Premier League, so he doesn't need any adaptation time. 'This is a huge factor. I think if you're going to go and buy players from foreign leagues, players that don't have the experience in the Premier League, there is always a risk. He has the experience here. We've seen him here. 'He grew up a Man United fan. 'I'm hearing he's taking the No 10 shirt, which was Rashford's shirt. What does that mean for Marcus Rashford? I don't know. 'There are a lot of questions that will be asked about that as well. '17 goals, six assists in 36 games for a Wolves team, I think it's impressive. I think the recruitment team for Manchester United would have seen, and the coaches here would have seen, what he did to Man United at Old Trafford. 'He was slicing through Man United like a hot knife through butter.' According to recent reports, Rashford's hopes of securing a permanent departure from United have been dashed with Barcelona unwilling to meet his £40m price tag. Barcelona sporting director Deco admitted he 'likes' Rashford last month and the forward is up for sale, with the Catalan giants seemingly his dream destination. The 27-year-old impressed during his brief loan spell with Villa, scoring four goals and registering six assists in his 17 appearances under Unai Emery. His promising displays were curtailed by a hamstring injury, though.

Manchester United agree Matheus Cunha signing from Wolves

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Wolves to sign Matheus Cunha. The Brazil forward has been in Manchester over the weekend to put the finishing touches to his move to Old Trafford, which is subject to a visa and registration.

It is believed the former Atletico Madrid forward has agreed a five-year deal. A club statement read: 'Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha.

Wolves said the deal was a club-record fee received as they thanked Cunha 'for his contributions in old gold' in a statement confirming his departure. Matheus Cunha is joining Manchester United.

Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo and Ipswich striker Liam Delap are among other players of interest to United, but business has been made harder by the fact they failed to qualify for the Champions League, worth an estimated £100million. Speaking on the club's post-season tour in Malaysia on Tuesday, Amorim said: 'Omar (Berrada, chief executive) can explain (the ramifications) better than me, but I think we always prepared two plans – one with Champions League, one without Champions League.

It was the past, so it can be the future. 'It's not going to change so much because we have the fair play financial rules. We are not allowed to do much in this summer, even with Champions League, so we are prepared for that. 'Important thing is to stick together, like I said on Sunday. We are going to struggle, it's not going to be everything right away, but I have the feeling and I see the team improving, so that is the most important thing.'

Manchester United sign £62.5m Matheus Cunha and look to offload deadwood

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Brazil striker Matheus Cunha for £62.5million on a five-year deal. The club met the terms of his release clause last week and were given permission by Wolverhampton Wanderers to schedule a medical, with both clubs announcing the deal on Sunday afternoon. The 26-year-old was in Manchester over the weekend meeting club staff and will now represent his country in a World Cup qualifier away to Ecuador on Friday. His contract has the option of a one-year extension, and the move will be officially completed once he returns from international duty and his visa and registration have been obtained, which is not expected to be any problem. United made contact with Wolves on Tuesday last week and asked if they could pay the fee over five years, instead of the two stated in his contract. The request was rebuffed and United agreed to the terms of the deal. Cunha, who was named Wolves' player of the season, spent the past 2½ seasons in the West Midlands and signed a new contract this year. He was Ruben Amorim's primary target for this window as the United head coach looks to bolster his attacking options after his side struggled to score in the league this season and finished in 15th place. Cunha scored 17 goals in 36 matches in all competitions but missed six games through suspension. Sources have said that Amorim sees the Brazilian slotting in as either one of the two No10s in his system or slightly further back in a more defensive role. Cunha showed his versatility while at Wolves where he played across all positions in the front line, including centre forward. United are hoping to buy another striker in the window and had been hoping to land Liam Delap from Ipswich Town before the 22-year-old decided to sign for Chelsea. United's next business in the window could depend on the future of Bruno Fernandes. The Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal are trying to tempt the club captain to the Middle East and his agent held a meeting with club officials in Riyad on Thursday. Amorim wants to keep the Portuguese star, who was named player of the season, but United would sell if Fernandes indicated he wanted to leave.
