Manchester United are desperate to sign a new striker this summer to replace Rasmus Hojlund after the Dane fails to provide consistency in front of goal.
It’s understood that United are looking to sell Hojlund in the summer to generate funds for his replacement, with The Red Devils scouting some of Europe’s top talent to head up their attack.
United’s search has led them to renewing their interest in Wolves’ striker Matheus Cunha after monitoring him last summer.
Ruben Amorim has shown his appreciation of the Brazilian attacker over recent days, when discussing the Wolves manager Vitor Pereira and his side ahead of United’s 1-0 loss at Old Trafford.
Speaking ahead of the game, Amorim commented: “I think he [Vitor Pereira] is doing an amazing job. He has real quality players – [Matheus] Cunha and all these guys, they have real quality.”

Manchester United close to sealing Matheus Cunha transfer
Now, The Daily Mail has revealed that The Red Devils are getting close to an agreement to see Cunha move to Old Trafford.
United are hopeful that the terms of his move can be finalised by next month, with the club needing to trigger his £62.5 million release clause.
The Red Devils could generate these funds through the sale of their loan stars alone, with Marcus Rashford’s £40 million option to buy for Aston Villa and Chelsea’s £25 million obligation to buy Jadon Sancho, and that’s without considering Real Betis’ desire to retain Antony.
However, with other stars like Altay Bayindir, Rasmus Hojlund, Casemiro and Andre Onana also on the chopping block to be sold, United should be able to generate the funds to bring Cunha to Old Trafford.
