Manchester United and Tottenham will fight for the signing of Mathues Cunha
Rubén Amorim took charge of his first game as manchester united boss last weekend and hinted that the team needed some time to get back on track after the draw against Ipswich Town. Curiously, he also benched Rasmus Hojlund and continued with Mark Rashford as their striker, raising further doubts over the possibility of signing a new number nine next year.
According to football transfersWolverhampton Wanderers star Matheus Cunha is the latest striker on the Red Devils' radar. However, Man Utd face competition as Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in the Wolves star. Newcastle UnitedEdit And Napoli are also keeping track of the Brazilian striker.
Cunha is valued at £38 million on Transfermarktalthough Wolves could ask for a significantly higher fee considering they paid £43m to sign him from Atlético Madrid in 2023. However, Cunha is a proven option in the first division and having scored seven goals in the English top flight this season, most of his suitors could be willing to pay a higher fee.
Man Utd likely to have the advantage
Tottenham Hotspur may not make Timo Werner's loan permanent transfer next year, while Richarlison is also expected to leave the club. However, given the extension of Son Heung-min's contract until 2026, Matheus Cunha's first few months in London could be spent as a secondary option.
Manchester United, however, could start over with their options in the final third considering Amorim's squad selection in his only game so far, so Cunha could be assured of a starting role if he moves on. to Old Trafford. The Red Devils could also offer him and Wolves a better financial package, thus giving them an advantage over the likes of Spurs.
Gary O'Neill's side are battling relegation at the moment so a move for the 25-year-old in January could be an unlikely prospect, but things could accelerate ahead of next summer.
