Manchester United have reached agreement with Wolves over the signing of Matheus Cunha.
Cunha will join Manchester United on a five-year deal after the Red Devils activated the player’s £62.5m release clause at Wolves. The Brazil international becomes Ruben Amorim’s first signing of the summer transfer window as Manchester United look to bounce back from a difficult season.
