Manchester United is reportedly keeping a close eye on Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha as a potential replacement for Alejandro Garnacho if the Argentine departs this summer. According to GIVEMESPORT, the club has already begun strategizing for the upcoming transfer window, identifying the Brazilian attacker as a key target.
Despite a disappointing loss to Tottenham, United manager Ruben Amorim has remained proactive in the transfer market. The club made a significant signing before the winter deadline, securing Patrick Dorgu from Lecce for £30 million in an effort to strengthen the squad. Now, attention has shifted to Cunha, with sources indicating that the Red Devils are prepared to meet his release clause if needed.
With Garnacho’s future at Old Trafford uncertain, United sees Cunha as an ideal replacement. The Brazilian has impressed in the Premier League, standing out even in a Wolves side that has struggled at times. His ability to play across the attacking line makes him a valuable asset, and his performances have not gone unnoticed. United’s interest is reinforced by the fact that Cunha himself has previously been open to a move to a top club, reportedly ensuring a release clause in his latest contract to keep his options open.
The release clause, which was revised after his contract extension at Wolves, stands at £62 million. While Wolves would prefer to keep him, such an offer would leave them with little choice. Cunha was also linked with a high-profile transfer in the winter, with Nottingham Forest among the clubs considering a record bid, but he ultimately chose to stay at Molineux.
United believes that the 25-year-old would welcome the opportunity to join a club of their stature, especially given his prior interest in teams like Arsenal. With the summer transfer window fast approaching, the Red Devils are poised to act swiftly if Garnacho departs, ensuring their attacking options remain strong heading into the new season.
