Manchester United are reportedly preparing to make a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Brazilian striker Matheus Cunha, as they look to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window. According to The Telegraph, the Red Devils are confident that they can persuade the Midlands club to let Cunha go, despite the fact that he has just over two years left on his current contract with Wolves.
Cunha has been in impressive form this season, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in 14 games across all competitions, making him one of the standout performers for Wolverhampton Wanderers. His success has not gone unnoticed, and Manchester United have identified him as a potential target for the winter window. With the team struggling to find the back of the net, winning just 13 goals in 12 games in the Premier League this season, the need for a new striker is clear.
Manchester United’s new head coach Ruben Amorim has reportedly already started shortlisting his targets for the January transfer window, with attacking reinforcements at the top of his agenda. The Portuguese manager has made it clear that he is looking for an established number nine to lead the line for the Red Devils, and Cunha fits the bill. The 24-year-old has already shown his quality and consistency at the top level, and would be an attractive addition to Manchester United’s squad.
However, Wolverhampton Wanderers are determined to hold on to Cunha, and are already preparing to offer him a new deal to keep him at Molineux Stadium beyond his current contract. Manager Gary O’Neil has confirmed that the player will not be sold in January, and that the club is keen to keep him as part of their plans for the future.
Manchester United will face stiff competition in their pursuit of Cunha, with Wolves determined to keep hold of their prized asset. But the Red Devils are confident that they can persuade the club to let Cunha go, and are already preparing to make a move in the January transfer window. As the transfer saga unfolds, it will be interesting to see whether Manchester United are able to secure the services of the talented Brazilian striker.
In related news, Manchester United’s current top scorer is Alejandro Garnacho, who has registered eight goals and four assists from 20 games this season. The Argentinean’s impressive form has been a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing campaign, and he will be looking to continue his good run of form as the season progresses.
