Manchester United announced the signing of Wolves Voorwaart Matheus Cunha on Sunday in a transfer deal of £ 62.5 million, but he was not unveiled in their usual way
Fans of Manchester United will have to wait another fourteen days to get their first view of new signing Matheus Cunha in a red shirt. The Red Devils announced on Sunday that they had agreed to sign Cunha van Wolves and pay his £ 62.5 million release clause to make the Brazilian their first addition of the summer transfer window.
Cunha, 26, has signed a five -year contract that will hold him at Old Trafford until June 2030. There is also an option to extend his stay with another 12 months.
However, proponents noted that the announcement of United was relatively withheld. The Red Devils did not post images of Cunha, nor were quotes available from Boss Ruben Amorim or another figure at Old Trafford.
Instead, a short explanation was posted on the club's website that confirmed that Cunha's Hot-Annzzated arrival was 'subject to visa and registration'. “Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha,” it was said.
“The signing of the Brazilian attacker is subject to visa and registration. The 26-year-old has 13 senior caps for Brazil and has made 270 performances in his club career and scored 72 goals in the English, Spanish, German and Swiss top flights.
“During two and a half seasons at Wolves, Cunha scored 33 goals in 92 performances. Everyone at Manchester United is looking forward to welcoming Matheus in Old Trafford.”
It is clear that United will complete the signing of Cunha and reveal him after the international break that starts this week. The attacker has been called to play for Brazil, because the five -time world cup winners come across the new manager Carlo Ancelotti for the next two weeks.
