Manchester United are emerging as the front runners for Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Matheus Cunha as he plans a move away from the Molineux this summer.
Cunha has found himself as one of the top strikers on United’s shortlist to replace Rasmus Hojlund in the summer, with the Danish striker struggling with consistency.
This season saw Hojlund go 21 consecutive games without a goal, only just managing an assist in the 20th match, failing to be a reliable goal contributor, let alone scorer.
As such, proven Premier League strikers such as Cunha and Ipswich’s Liam Delap have emerged as key targets, with several top clubs looking at the duo.
However, The Daily Mail have now revealed that it’s Ruben Amorim himself that has given United the edge on Cunha’s other suitors in the race for his signature.

Ruben Amorim gives Manchester United the edge for Matheus Cunha
Cunha is reportedly being swayed towards an Old Trafford move by the prospect of being a vital component in Amorim’s rebuild to bring United back to their winning ways.
With this season being the club’s worst Premier League run on record, a bounce-back next season would be an incredible success for The Red Devils, with the project enticing Cunha enough to want in.
Despite United’s financial struggles, they are reported to be able to afford his £62.5 million release clause, making the move to Old Trafford a very real possibility.
Amorim’s side are confident they can get terms agreed by the end of the month to see the Brazilian striker arrive in the summer.
