In an attempt to supplant Anthony Martial this summer, Manchester United is preparing an unexpected raid for Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha. When Martial's contract expires on June 30, he will be saying goodbye to Man United after nine years of affiliation. Cunha is reportedly on the Red Devils' transfer radar. The team is anticipated to sign a replacement soon.
The Brazilian scored 14 goals and provided eight assists during his successful full season with the Wolves. United has been monitoring his development and has been pleased with his performance this season. Wolves want to keep Cunha in their fold, but in order to recruit him, United is willing to pay the striker double his weekly salary of £120,000. With his 22 goal involvements, he kept the Midlands team out of the relegation zone, but a £60 million bid this summer would put Wolves' commitment to the test.
