Manchester United confirmed the signing of Brazilian striker Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday 12th June 2025, securing the 26-year-old on a five-year contract.

The Red Devils have completed the signing of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 26-year-old joins on a long-term deal as United’s first major summer acquisition.

Cunha, who impressed during his Premier League spell with Wolves, expressed his delight at fulfilling a childhood dream by joining the historic club. The transfer bolsters United’s attacking options as they look to improve on last season’s disappointing campaign.

United’s football director Jason Wilcox called the signing “a key part of our summer rebuild,” praising Cunha’s proven quality in England’s top-flight and European leagues. The Brazilian is expected to join his new teammates when pre-season training begins.
