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. The 26 year-old, who has won 13 senior caps for Brazil, scored 18 goals in all competitions last season. Advertisement United had sought to negotiate with Wolves over the terms of Cunha's deal but last week met his €74.2 million (£62.5m) release clause and were given permission to start a medical. It is believed the former Atletico Madrid forward has agreed a five-year deal. 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. Cunha had been a key target for the Red Devils as head coach Ruben Amorim looks to reshape the team on the back of the club's worst season in 51 years. The forward turned 26 on Tuesday, the same day that United were granted permission by Wolves to finalise a deal. He is now on his way to Brazil ahead of Friday's World Cup qualifier with Ecuador, which will be Carlo Ancelotti's first game in charge. 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.

Man Utd confirm men's first-team coach is leaving Ruben Amorim's backroom staff to ‘find a new challenge elsewhere'
MANCHESTER UNITED have confirmed a surprise shake-up behind the scenes with Andreas Georgson leaving his role. The Swedish coach joined the club less than 12 months ago under Erik Ten Hag, but he's decided he wants a new challenge. 3 Andreas Georgson arrived at United during the Erik ten Hag era Credit: Getty 3 Ruben Amorim is determined to change things at Manchester United Credit: Shutterstock Editorial He was appointed as a set-piece guru - however with United struggling this season and looking to make changes in all departments his departure was seen as inevitable. Insiders suggest one of the reasons for his departure is that responsibility for dead-ball situations was taken away from him by Ruben Amorim. Georgson arrived from Norwegian side Lillestrom, where he was head coach. But with the club finishing a disappointing 15th in the league and failing to secure European football, it is clear that changes were necessary. Georgson said: "It has been a fantastic experience serving as first-team coach at Manchester United. "I will always be proud of my association with such a great football club. "This period of my career has now come to an end as I leave to find a new challenge elsewhere. "While excited about the opportunities ahead, I am sad to be leaving so many great colleagues and friends at Carrington, who make Manchester United truly special. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS "Even during such a tough season, the professionalism and dedication of the players and staff never wavered, and I know there will be better times ahead." United's technical director Jason Wilcox said: "Andreas has been a valued member of our men's first-team coaching set-up over the past year, and we are grateful for his significant contribution. Ruben Amorim breaks silence over futures of Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho "He leaves with our thanks and best wishes for the next stage of his career." Manager Amorim, meanwhile, is said to be reshuffling the pack behind the scenes as part of a summer overhaul, following a post-season tour which featured a loss to the Aseasn All-Stars and a win over Hong Kong.
