Wolves will play Brentford on Sunday and after that Cunha will officially become a Man Utd player.

The Brazil international, 25, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months and the Red Devils have been in talks with his representatives for several weeks.

Cunha to join Man Utd

Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Monday that a transfer was all but done.

“The Brazilian has accepted the project as agreement on personal terms is now being finalised, almost done.

“Final details to sort between all parties involved… and then, here we go.”

Cunha is expected to sign a long-term contract at Old Trafford,.

Man Utd will pay the €74 million (£62.5m) release clause in the attacker's Wolves contract.

Cunha has scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 34 appearances for Wolves so far this season, and he is expected to be deployed as an attacking midfielder in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system at Old Trafford next year.

Cunha’s future has been in doubt for some time despie signing a new contract until 2029 in February.

The 25-year-old has also endured some disciplinary problems of late, frustrated by Wolves’ struggles near the bottom of the Premier League.

Cunha at Wolves

Cunha joined Wolves in 2023 from Atletico Madrid for €50m after a successful six month loan spell at the club in the second half of the 2022-23 season.

He has since developed into one of the best players in the Premier League, scoring 31 goals in 68 games for the club.

Cunha began his career at Sion in Switzerland, earning a move to Leipzig and then Hertha Berlin, where he really exploded.

His performances at Hertha earned him a €30m move to Atletico Madrid in 2021 but he struggled in La Liga and was offloaded just 18 months later to Wolves.

At Wolves he has impressed many of the Premier League and Europe’s biggest clubs.

He has won 13 caps for Brazil and scored one goal.
