Man United Sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves in £62.5m Deal
MATHEUS CUNHA said he had 'dreamed of wearing the red shirt' of Manchester United after the club confirmed his signing from Wolves on Thursday. United effectively sealed the deal, which was subject to the completion of a visa and medical, on June 1 after activating a £62.5 million ($85 million) release clause in the 26-year old's contract. 'It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player,' said the Brazil international, who has signed a five-year deal with the option of another year. 'Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. 'I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality. 'I can't wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my teammates and prepare for the season ahead. 'All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top.' Cunha scored 17 goals in all competitions for Wolves last season, winning the Premier League club's players' player of the year award. He became Ruben Amorim's first signing of the summer transfer window as the head coach sets about overhauling his squad after a miserable domestic campaign and a lacklustre Europa League final defeat to Tottenham. Cunha will add his predatory instincts and creative guile to a United attack that struggled throughout this season. The striker helped his country qualify for the World Cup on Tuesday when he set up the only goal for Vinicius Junior in a 1-0 win over Paraguay. United's director of football Jason Wilcox said: 'Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window. 'He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honours.' Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo has also been linked with a move to United, whose transfer business has been made harder by their failure to qualify for the Champions League.

Wolves 3 Leicester 0: Cunha inspires hosts to big 3 points to leapfrog Man Utd in table against already-relegated Foxes
MATHEUS CUNHA netted his 15th Prem goal of the season as Wolves brushed aside Leicester to leapfrog Manchester United. The Brazilian playmaker is a summer target for the Red Devils and lashed home a first-half opener at Molineux. 9 9 9 9 9 Leicester, already relegated following a dismal season, struggled to cope with the hosts for much of the afternoon. And Jorgen Strand Larsen smashed in a deserved second shortly after the break. Jamie Vardy announced earlier this week he will leave the King Power at the end of the season. The former England forward hasn't netted for over three months - but was given the perfect opportunity after being felled in the box by Jose Sa. Vardy took the spot-kick but was foiled by the Portuguese stopper. To compound the Foxes' misery, Rodrigo Gomes netted a late third, leaving Ruud van Nistelrooy's men with just one away win in their last 15 attempts. 9 9 9 9 Jamie Vardy reveals best XI he's played with at Leicester with huge snub to England stars and entire current squad FULL REPORT TO FOLLOW.
