Manchester United have suffered very badly in the ongoing season in the Premier League. They could manage to get some bit of hope if they win the UEFA Europa League to qualify for the Champions League next season. The club will be looking to make some significant changes to their squad to bring back the competitiveness, and playing in Europe will help them lure their transfer targets.
United badly need a forward who can score consistent goals, as Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have flopped this season. Moreover, it is most likely that Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Jadon Sancho will be leaving the club. Hence, the Red Devils have been linked to a number of forwards, and one of them is Matheus Cunha.
Manchester United Are Very Close To Signing Matheus Cunha
Fabrizio Romano has reported that United are very close to cracking the deal for Cunha. The Brazilian is in breathtaking form in the Premier League and will provide the much-needed boost to United’s attack. The Red Devils are ready to pay his release clause of £63 million, and an agreement is very close. This will definitely be good and welcome news for the United fans who want things to improve next season.
Cunha has scored 15 goals in 29 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. Seven of the 15 goals were scored at home, while he scored eight goals in away games. Overall, Cunha’s goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.58. Moreover, the Brazilian has amassed a total G/A (goals + assists) of 21 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.81 per 90 minutes, and his non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.57.
Why will he be a great signing for the Red Devils?
Cunha, a lively and versatile 25-year-old forward, will bring real firepower to the attack. With 15 Premier League goals this season, his ability to carry the ball at pace, finish clinically, and create chances stands out. Comfortable across multiple attacking roles, Cunha’s flair and familiarity with Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 setup make him a natural fit as a No. 10.
His work rate, sharp footballing intelligence, and knack for conjuring something out of nothing could be exactly what United’s struggling attack needs. Linking up with Bruno Fernandes, Cunha would help ease the pressure on an inconsistent front line, including Hojlund, and inject the spark United have been missing in the final third.
