Matheus Cunha to Man United transfer update shared as future admission made
The latest Man Utd transfer news as key figures at Old Trafford continue to pursue Matheus Cunha.
Wolves manager Vitor Pereira has admitted he's unsure what the future holds for forward Matheus Cunha amid insistent speculation that he will join Manchester United.
Cunha has enjoyed a brilliant season for Wolves and, at times, he has been credited with single-handedly winning matches for his team. Despite flirting with relegation this campaign, the west Midlands club have been able to rely on Cunha for a frequent source of goals.

The Brazil star has managed 17 goals this season as he continued his redemption at Molineux after a poor run with Atletico Madrid before them. However, with a ÂŁ62.5m release clause in his contract, United have shortlisted him as a target for the summer transfer window.

Cunha's versatility as a centre-forward, a No.10 and even as a winger will, naturally, impress Ruben Amorim and his recruitment team. The Manchester Evening News understands Cunha is keen to move to Old Trafford regardless of whether or not United will play in the Champions League next season.
On Monday, meanwhile, further reports from Fabrizio Romano and Sky Sports News have insisted that a move to Old Trafford is close to being completed with the Premier League's conclusion nearing.

"I just know that he's my player. He's committed with the team, he's working with happiness and we will see what happens. You must ask him. He is happy. I feel he is happy."
With the Europa League final coming up on Wednesday night for United, transfers are not currently their priority. However, a quick move for Cunha would be a good starting point for the club ahead of what is a crucial window.
