Manchester United are looking to strengthen their squad after a bitter 15th-place finish in the 2024/25 Premier League campaign. The Red Devils are now pushing for the signing of Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo and are continuing to negotiate a price.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United has reached a deal with Wolverhampton to sign Brazil forward Matheus Cunha. United reportedly paid a 62.5 million pound ($84 million) release clause. Wolves said Sunday the deal represented a club-record fee and thanked Cunha “for his contributions in old gold.”

In that regard, United’s move for Matheus Cunha — after meeting the release clause of £62.5million ($84.4m) in his Wolves contract — is an encouraging flicker of life. The 26-year-old was one of the division’s standout performers last campaign, with his 15 goals and six assists accounting for well over a third of his team’s goal returns.
