Manchester United have stepped up their interest in Matheus Cunha as they aim to add goals and experience to Ruben Amorim’s side.
United are targeting multiple attacking reinforcements to boost their threat in the final third.
They have only netted 37 league goals this season, a record low for the club.
Cunha is seen as a strong fit for one of the No 10 roles in Amorim’s system, as confirmed by The Athletic’s report.
Especially due to his ability to carry the ball, break lines and score.
The Brazilian has netted over 25 Premier League goals in two seasons for Wolves and has frequently impressed against United, including scoring direct from a corner earlier this season.
Matheus Cunha £62.5m release clause details
A £62.5m release clause in his contract makes the terms of a potential transfer clear.
Although, Wolves are open to a structured deal involving instalments as per The Athletic’s report.
United view Cunha, who turns 26 in May, as a player at his peak with the profile to make an instant impact at Old Trafford.
Talks have reportedly begun between the player’s camp and United, as reported on CentreDevils recently.
He admitted to the Guardian that he stayed loyal to Wolves in January despite several offers.

However, the Brazilian now wants to “fight for titles” and “take the next step.”
United must first raise funds through outgoings, with Rashford, Sancho, Antony and Malacia all possible sales.
Wages could also be a factor, with Cunha reportedly earning £150,000 a week.
With several veteran contracts expiring, space is expected to open up on the salary bill.
Cunha’s versatility, end product and familiarity with the league makes him a solid option for United: proven, attainable and ready.
