According to sources from GIVEMESPORT, Manchester United is preparing for a potential summer exodus, with Alejandro Garnacho among the notable names that could depart Old Trafford. In light of this, the club has set its sights on Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha as a key target when the transfer window reopens.
Despite a recent loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim has enhanced his squad with new signings, including the significant acquisition of Patrick Dorgu for £30 million from struggling Serie A side Lecce. However, the focus is now shifting to Cunha, who has emerged as a prime candidate to fill the potential gap left by Garnacho.
Sources indicate that Manchester United is confident that Cunha would be interested in a move to a top-tier Premier League team. If Garnacho does leave, the club is reportedly prepared to activate Cunha’s release clause, which is set at £62 million. This clause was recently added to his new contract, which he signed just weeks ago, highlighting his value to Wolves.
United has been long-term admirers of Cunha, recognizing his skill and potential to enhance their attacking options. The 25-year-old forward has shown his worth in the Premier League, particularly during a challenging season for Wolves, which has only increased interest in his services.

Cunha’s performances caught the eye of several clubs during the winter transfer window, with Nottingham Forest even considering a record-breaking offer. However, he opted to remain at Molineux, indicating his desire to explore significant opportunities in the future.
Interestingly, Cunha has expressed interest in joining other Premier League giants, such as Arsenal, and negotiated a release clause in his recent contract to ensure he does not miss out on potential high-profile moves. This has left influential figures at Manchester United optimistic about his openness to joining the club.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Manchester United’s strategy and whether they can secure Matheus Cunha to bolster their squad.
