Matheus Cunha Becomes Manchester United’s First Signing in Summer 2025 Rebuild
Manchester United has officially signed Brazilian striker Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton, marking their first acquisition of the 2025 summer transfer window. This move signals the beginning of a significant overhaul in their attacking lineup, which struggled to meet expectations in the previous Premier League season. With new manager Ruben Amorim at the helm, the club is focusing on improving its goal-scoring capabilities.
The decision to bring in Cunha comes after underwhelming performances from Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee, who failed to consistently deliver up front. United needed a forward who could make an immediate impact, and Cunha’s track record in England made him a fitting choice. Though the exact transfer fee was not disclosed, reports suggest it could reach around £62.5 million. Final steps involving visa processing and registration are currently underway.
Cunha impressed during his time at Wolverhampton, scoring 33 goals in 92 appearances despite the team's inconsistent form. His ability to lead the front line effectively and deliver under pressure made him a standout performer. Before his stint in the Premier League, he gained valuable experience in top European leagues such as the Bundesliga, La Liga, and the Swiss Super League. At 26, he also brings international experience with Brazil, having featured in 13 matches.
His arrival is expected to be just the beginning of a broader recruitment campaign. Manchester United is actively pursuing additional reinforcements in midfield, defense, and the wings to build a well-rounded squad. Defender Jarrad Branthwaite is among their primary targets, while interest has also been shown in wingers Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford and Rayan Cherki from Lyon. The club aims to assemble a squad capable of competing at the highest level across all competitions next season.
