Fabrizio Romano confirms Manchester United to announce v!deo of new SIGNING of World-class forward
A big Friday buzz hit London Airport as Manchester United’s latest major signing inches closer to reality, with renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming the deal is almost done. Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha is set to become United’s first addition of the summer, and the club is reportedly preparing to release the official announcement video. The 25-year-old, who once tormented Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side, is on the verge of joining the Premier League giants, sending shockwaves through their domestic rivals.
Cunha has already agreed to a five-year contract with an option for an extra year. Although Manchester United haven’t activated his £62.5 million release clause just yet, sources say they plan to do so imminently. The clause must be paid in three installments of £20.85 million over two years, and the club is keen to finalize everything before the week wraps up. Once a formal approach is made to Wolverhampton Wanderers, Cunha is expected to travel to Manchester for a medical.
In addition to Cunha, the Red Devils are also in negotiations with Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, who had a standout season with 20 Premier League goals and seven assists. The Cameroon international is valued at around £50 million, with other clubs like Newcastle also keeping a close watch.
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap is another name on United’s radar, thanks to a £30 million release clause. However, splashing nearly £150 million on three attacking players is financially out of reach for the club unless significant player sales are made first. Having missed out on Champions League qualification after their Europa League final defeat to Tottenham, United lost out on a potential £100 million windfall. That setback means they’ll have to be strategic with spending this summer.
One possible departure that could help fund their transfer spree is captain Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder is weighing up a staggering £200 million offer over three years from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. Should an official bid near £100 million materialize, United might find it hard to turn it down, potentially reshaping their squad under new manager Ruben Amorim.
Cunha is expected to be central to Amorim’s plans, given his ability to operate across the front line. His arrival might also open the door for Rasmus Højlund to be moved on, as the manager looks to reshape the attacking department. United also have other positions to strengthen, particularly in midfield and goalkeeping. With no European competitions to worry about next season, the focus will shift fully to domestic success. For now, fans are eagerly awaiting the official unveiling of Cunha, a move that could mark the beginning of an exciting new era at Old Trafford.
