Manchester United launches their summer wider structure under Ruben Amorim by signing Matheus Cunha – but still has to activate his £ 62.5 million release clause at Wolves.
Cunha agreed the conditions for a five -year contract with the option of an extra year and could travel to Manchester this week for a medical as soon as United would make a formal approach to wolves.
United still has to activate the clause in Cunha's contract, which must be paid in three episodes of £ 20.85 million over two years.
United wants to close a deal for the 25-year-old Brazilian at the end of May, so that it is expected to be a busy summer of ins and outs at Old Trafford.
Cunha will probably get the No.10 shirt that is currently from Marcus Rashford, which is ready to leave Old Trafford after a loan period at Aston Villa.
Other loan players, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia, will also go and Alejandro Garnacho has been told to find a new club.
Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans leave as free agents on June 30 after they have said goodbye to the fans after the last game of Sunday at home at Villa.
Bruno Fernandes is still considering an offer from Saudi Club Al-Hilal worth £ 200 million over three years. United is desperate not to lose their captain, but would find it difficult to reject an offer in the £ 100 million region.
In addition to signing Cunha to fill one of the two No. 10 positions in its 3-4-3 system, Amorim has given a priority to a striker and a midfielder.
However, he admitted on Sunday that he is limited by the rules of Financial Fair Play after United had missed a windfall of £ 100 million Champions League by losing the Europa League final last week to Tottenham.
Liam Delap remains the number 1 striker target, but United Face competence of a number of clubs – in particular Chelsea – and will have other options.
