Manchester United's transfer move for Wolves' forward Matheus Cunha has received a significant endorsement from the club legend, Gary Neville. The Brazil international, who signed a new contract earlier this year with a £62.5 million release clause, is now on the radar of several Premier League clubs.
Cunha's impressive performance and potential have not gone unnoticed in the Premier League. Newcastle United was understood to be at the forefront of those interested in securing his services. However, it seems that Manchester United might have an edge due to certain factors.
The former Atletico Madrid star’s desire to play under Ruben Amorim appears to be a decisive factor in his inclination towards joining Manchester United. Despite their current struggles and lackluster goal-scoring record this season with players like Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund failing to make an impact, Amorim’s team seems appealing enough for the 25-year-old Brazilian.
Neville believes Cunha is what Red Devils need
Gary Neville has expressed his belief that Cunha could be exactly what Manchester United needs right now. He praised Cunha’s adventurous style of play and versatility as key attributes that could potentially bolster the Red Devils' attack line.
Gary Neville, Manchester United legend, said:
‘They’re desperate in that position, he would suit the system. They’ve let Jadon Sancho, Antony and Marcus Rashford go, they’re playing with Garnacho at the moment but that leaves them lopsided.
‘They need someone who can beat players, someone who is equally as good at running through the middle with the ball. They need to score goals, Manchester United.’
While there are several clubs vying for Matheus Cunha's signature, it appears that his preference lies with struggling but hopeful Manchester United. With endorsements from figures like Gary Neville highlighting how he could fit into their squad perfectly, it will be interesting to see if this transfer materializes in favor of Man Utd.
