Manchester United are getting closer to signing Matheus Cunha for £62.5 million. They did not waste time to conduct their much-needed deal. The Wolves star had an excellent season and attracted a lot of attention.
A deal has been reached between the Brazilian and the Red Devils. The payment structure seems to be the last barrier before Cunha officially moves to Old Trafford.
Cunha has had a huge impact at Molineux and helped Wolves escape the threat of relegation at the beginning of this season. Ruben Amorim believes he will be in line with his philosophy as Man United are having difficulty in attack.
The Wolves star has made a strong impression throughout the season. Liverpool manager Arne Slot once admitted that he has the potential to play for a top Premier League side.
It seems that Man United will win the race for Cunha's signature. Amorim has made strengthening the attack a top priority this summer as he looks to revive Man United.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee both had difficulty getting into the final third. In addition to Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo, they lack options that can shine when needed.
If the Cunha deal is completed, Liam Delap will be the next name targeted by the "Red Devils". Despite Ipswich Town being relegated, the young striker has left a strong impression.
Delap is valued at around £30 million and Man United are expected to successfully sign the former Manchester City player. However, not being able to participate in the Champions League will cause Man United to lose to Chelsea, who also want Delap's signature.
According to ESPN, Man United are also interested in Eberechi Eze, but Crystal Palace will fight their best to keep this winger. They could use the leverage of playing in European competition to convince the England international.
They lost Michael Olise a year ago and will not want to see one of their key attacking players leave the club.
Amorim is also expected to chase full-backs who can play well in a 3-4-3 system. However, no name has been offered yet. In addition, it is still unknown whether any new goalkeeper will be pursued by Man United.
Man United are facing a key transfer window. Deals like Delap or Cunha could be the start of a new recovery journey. However, to succeed, they need to be more determined than ever.
Man United will face financial pressure due to not having a ticket to the European Cup for the first time since 2015. To clear the way for new recruits, a series of names may be put up for sale, including pillars such as Bruno Fernandes.
