Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, with the deal said to be at its final stages. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that Cunha has already made his decision.
“Matheus Cunha has decided to join Man United project regardless of the access to next Champions League,” Romano said.
That’s right — Champions League or not, the Brazilian wants in. And now the big question on every fan’s mind is simple: when will he play his first game in red?
United are believed to have agreed to pay Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause in parts, making the move possible.
While as per Fabrizio, "the deal is almost done" only a few formalities remain, and the official announcement is expected soon.
The 25-year-old has impressed this season with Wolves, scoring 17 goals and adding 6 assists. His movement, flair, and energy have caught the eye, and it seems Ruben Amorim’s side is eager to bring that spark to their squad.

When can Matheus Cunha make his Man Utd debut?
Cunha could get his first minutes for United on July 19, when they play a friendly against Leeds United in Stockholm. That will kick off the club’s pre-season, with the Brazilian set to join early training.
From there, United will travel to the United States for a summer tour, facing West Ham, Bournemouth, and Everton.
But it’s the August 9 clash against Fiorentina at Old Trafford that may offer Cunha his true “Theatre of Dreams” moment — a home debut just one week before the new Premier League season kicks off.
With his pace and sharpness, Cunha could be just what United’s attack needs. And fans will be watching closely — will he hit the ground running, or take a few touches to settle in?
