Who will be leading Manchester United's attack next season?
Matheus Cunha to Manchester United?
The Red Devils are continuing to explore potential manoeuvres in the market in search of attacking players, and one of the names that has gained strength in recent days is Matheus Cunha.
The Brazilian forward, currently with Wolves, has shown outstanding performance in the Premier League, attracting the interest of major English clubs.
His ability to play in various attacking positions and his dynamism fit the profile that their manager is looking at.
Cunha wants to make the step up
While things didn’t work out for Cunha at Atletico Madrid, he has certainly revived his career since joining Wolves. He joined the Midlands side on an initial loan deal at the start of 2023 before the move was made permanent in the summer.
While he prefers playing as a number nine, Cunha can pretty much feature anywhere in attack. His versatility, combined with his effectiveness in the final third, makes him a highly sought-after player across the Premier League and maybe beyond that.
He is a key player for Wolves, and his contract runs until the summer of 2029. The club is not eager to let him go due to his importance within the team. However, a significant offer might lead them to reconsider their position.

Do United need him?
With Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony likely to secure permanent moves away, they certainly need more quality options in the final third. Cunha’s versatility and profile make him a perfect fit for Amorim’s system.
It's also been clear throughout this campaign that United need more goals and creativity. The club (and especially their manager) still rate Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee but it is believed that they want an extra man to help alleviate some of the goalscoring burden from the likes of Bruno Fernandes.
