Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha could double his £90,000-a-week salary at Manchester United , journalist Samuel Luckhurst has revealed. The Brazilian forward has emerged as a priority target to bolster Ruben Amorim’s frontline in recent days and could now be in line for a significant pay rise if he completes a move to Old Trafford. It is believed United could offer Cunha a £180,000-a-week deal to convince him to join, placing him among the top earners at the club alongside captain Bruno Fernandes.
Cunha is expected to depart Wolves at the end of the season, despite penning a fresh four-year deal at the start of the year. Man United Could Double Cunha’s Wages According to Luckhurst, Cunha’s representatives have welcomed United’s interest in the 25-year-old forward amid growing anticipation that he would become Amorim’s first summer signing. The Brazilian, praised as ‘unbelievable’ , is particularly admired by the Portuguese manager and is seen as a perfect fit for his tactical setup.
Cunha is already operating as one of the two playmakers in Vitor Pereira’s 3-4-2-1 formation at Wolves and would be expected to undertake a similar role under Amorim next season. The ex-Sporting manager reportedly wants a specialist playmaker to play in one of the roles behind the striker, potentially alongside Amad Diallo , who is out with a long-term injury. GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Cunha has scored 14 goals and provided four assists in 28 Premier League appearances this season.
United are believed to have identified Ipswich Town sensation Liam Delap as their primary option up front, although they may face strong competition from Chelsea this summer. According to GIVEMESPORT sources, the Blues are confident they have the edge over United in the race to sign Delap after the season, with Enzo Maresca particularly keen on his arrival and a Stamford Bridge reunion .
