Overview

• Manchester United are formally exploring triggering Matheus Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause to strengthen their attacking options this summer.
• The 25-year-old forward has expressed willingness to enter formal negotiations with United, though other Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, are also showing interest.
• United are proposing an installment-based payment structure to comply with financial regulations, and Wolves are reportedly open to this arrangement.
• Cunha has scored 32 league goals since joining Wolves in 2023, including 16 this season, helping secure the club’s Premier League survival.
• A move to Old Trafford would likely see Cunha earn over £200,000 per week, reflecting his status as a key target under Erik ten Hag’s plans.
