Ruben Amorim has already started laying the foundations for his first full season in charge at Old Trafford, with Manchester United making early moves in the summer transfer market.
The Red Devils are assessing their attacking options ahead of a busy transfer window, with multiple forwards including Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap emerging as viable targets.
Despite adding Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna last year, United’s inconsistency in front of goal has prompted the club’s hierarchy to push for more firepower.
Key figures at Carrington are also keeping a close eye on player availability in the Premier League, with Amorim keen on proven quality that can adapt quickly to his tactical demands.
One name climbing to the top of United’s shortlist has now triggered fresh excitement among fans.
Manchester United have held talks with the agent of Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matheus Cunha, as revealed by GiveMeSport.
United have made their interest known to the Brazil international’s representatives, who jetted into the UK earlier this week for discussions.
The 25-year-old forward has a £62.5million release clause in his current Wolves contract, but United believe a deal can be structured without paying that fee upfront.

Matheus Cunha, who recently signed fresh terms at Molineux, is expected to leave in the summer and has a strong preference for joining one of the Premier League’s established top-six clubs.
Sources close to the situation suggest that Old Trafford is now his most likely destination, with Nottingham Forest and Arsenal also monitoring developments.
Cunha has already served a four-match ban following a red card against Bournemouth but remains a highly rated option, with pundits like Micah Richards describing him as “sensational.”
Nottingham Forest attempted a late swoop for the Brazilian in January, but the deal fell through—leaving the door open for United to make their move.
Amorim is said to view Matheus Cunha as a player who could operate behind a main striker, offering versatility and aggression in the final third.
With Amorim keen to put his own stamp on United’s squad, Cunha could become one of the first major additions in what is shaping up to be a pivotal summer at Old Trafford.
