Matheus Cunha Signs Five-Year Deal with Manchester United
Manchester United have officially signed Brazilian striker Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, marking their first major move of the 2025 summer transfer window. The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract running until June 2030, with an option to extend for a sixth year.
🗣 Cunha: Childhood Dream Realized
Speaking to United’s media team, Cunha described joining the Red Devils as the fulfilment of a lifelong dream.
“Ever since I was a child watching the Premier League at my grandmother’s house in Brazil, Manchester United was my favourite English club. To now wear the red shirt is an honour I can barely describe,” said Cunha.
“I can’t wait for pre-season. I’m focused on working hard, bonding with my teammates, and helping this club return to the top.”
📈 A Proven Premier League Talent
Cunha joined Wolves in 2023 and quickly became one of their standout performers. His flair, work rate, and goal contributions drew the attention of several top clubs, but United acted swiftly to secure his signature.
Jason Wilcox, Manchester United’s director of football, hailed the signing as a cornerstone of their summer plans.
“Bringing in Matheus was a top priority. He’s proven himself in England, Spain, and Germany, and brings pace, creativity, and a high work ethic—exactly what we want for this new era at United.”
🔄 United Begin Summer Rebuild
Following a disappointing 2024/25 season, Manchester United are expected to undergo significant restructuring under new leadership. Cunha’s arrival bolsters the club’s attacking options as they aim to climb back into Premier League and Champions League contention.
With more signings anticipated in the coming weeks, Cunha’s early addition signals United’s intent to compete seriously in the 2025/26 campaign.
