Matheus Cunha will become Manchester United’s first major summer transfer signing after the Red Devils agreed to match the Wolverhampton Wanderers star’s release fee, according to a report from Brazil.

Manchester United have held positive contract talks to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha. Ruben Amorim and United executives are aligned on trying to bring Cunha to Old Trafford and they are taking the first steps in attempting to agree personal terms.

Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Cunha has been one of the Premier League's outstanding performers this season and has an $83.5 million release clause in his contract that can be activated in the summer. The Brazilian is expected to depart Molineux and has also been linked with a move to Arsenal and Chelsea.
