According to GIVEMESPORT sources, if Alejandro Garnacho is one of the big names to leave Old Trafford in the summer, Manchester United will focus on raiding Wolverhampton Wanderers. Matheus Cunha has been identified as a target when plans have been made before the transfer window reopens.
Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim’s team narrowly lost to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, despite adding reinforcements ahead of the winter deadline earlier this month. The most costly addition was Patrick Dorgu, who completed a £30 million transfer from Serie A struggling Lecce.
According to GMS sources, the Wolves talisman has been identified as a possible replacement, and there is confidence that he would be interested in securing a move to a big-hitting Premier League team in the upcoming months. If Garnacho leaves during the summer transfer window, Manchester United will be prepared to activate Cunha’s release clause.
The Red Devils are aware that they can leave their domestic rivals powerless if they put £62 million on the table after that buyout number was added to his new terms, even if the Brazil international signed a new long-term contract in his current surroundings just a few weeks ago.
According to GMS sources, Manchester United is considering a deal for Cunha after being longtime admirers and seeing him demonstrate his value in the Premier League during his time at Wolves. They believe he has the expertise and style to boost their attacking threat right away.
Due to his performances in a team struggling to stay in the Premier League, the 25-year-old forward attracted a lot of interest during the winter transfer window. Nottingham Forest even contemplated making a club-record offer as they look to qualify for the Champions League, but he ultimately decided to stay at Molineux.
According to GMS sources, Cunha previously expressed interest in joining fellow top flight powerhouses Arsenal, and he insisted on having a release clause in his upgraded contract because he didn’t want to miss a significant opportunity. As a result, influential figures at Manchester United are hopeful that Cunha will be open to moving to Old Trafford.
