Is Matheus Cunha really the answer to Man Utd’s attacking problems?
Manchester United are in desperate need of goals – and it appears that Ruben Amorim’s side may have just found their answer.
Languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, and now level โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที on points with Wolves after their 1-0 defeat to the Midlands club on Sunday, it has prove another disheartening season for the Red Devils.
And while success in the Europa League could well still secure a return to the Champions League next year, it is undeniable that the club is facing another major rebuild this summer.
Near the top of their summer wishlist is sure to be another forward, given the well-documente struggles of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund this campaign.
And it appears that Matheus Cunha could well be the player arriving at Old Trafford this summer, with the latest reports suggesting that United have held promising contract talks to sign the Brazilian, who has a £62.5million release clause in his current Wolves deal.
United may still have to fend off interest from a host of Premier League clubs to complete a deal for the 25-year-old, but it’s easy to see why they’ve already made their move.
While impressing during his first full season with Wolves last year, Cunha has undoubtedly kicke on another gear this season.
With 20 goal contributions in 30 games in all competitions this term, he has Wolves’ standout player by some way this season and, at times, single-handedly helpe his side battle their way out of a relegation dogfight.
And despite signing a new deal in January, the presence of a release clause in his new deal means the forward is an easy target for clubs looking to complete some early transfer business this summer.
Turning 26 next month, Cunha is entering the prime of his career and should be able to hit the ground running at a new Premier League team having already spent two and a half years in the English top-flight.
Combine with that, the Brazilian’s tactical adaptability and well-rounde game mean that he should be able to adapt to a more front-foote team playing higher up the division.
