Overview

  • Manchester United are reportedly in the final stages of negotiations with Wolves' Matheus Cunha, aiming to meet his £62.5 million release clause through a structured payment plan.
  • Cunha, who has scored 16 Premier League goals this season, is seen as a strong fit for Ruben Amorim's system, which prioritizes versatile attacking players.
  • The club is also pursuing Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap (£30 million release clause) and Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen (£50 million release clause) to strengthen their attack and defense, respectively.
  • United's financial constraints under Profit and Sustainability Rules necessitate a focus on player sales and multi-year payment structures for new acquisitions.
  • With just 38 league goals this season and a 14th-place finish, Amorim is seeking to overhaul the squad to address glaring weaknesses and improve performance.
