Matheus Cunha: Manchester United’s £62.5M Signing Who Could Surprise Everyone in 2025

While the arrivals of Benjamin Šeško and Bryan Mbeumo have dominated headlines, Manchester United’s signing of Matheus Cunha might turn out to be the most unexpectedly decisive move of the summer. The £62.5M Brazilian forward joins from Wolves with a skill set that could give United’s attack a whole new dimension.

A Flair Player With Substance

Cunha is known for his Brazilian flair, quick feet, and ability to take on defenders one-on-one—but he’s also a tireless worker off the ball. His willingness to track back, press high, and link play makes him more than just a flashy attacker.

Perfect Balance for the Front Three

With Šeško acting as the target man and Mbeumo stretching defenses from the right, Cunha’s role on the left will be to create chaos. His dribbling draws defenders out of position, opening up space for midfielders and overlapping full-backs.

Numbers That Show His Value

13 goal contributions for Wolves last season in a mid-table side
Ranked among the top Premier League forwards for successful dribbles per 90
Created 35+ chances in 2024/25 despite limited attacking support

Why This Could Be a Steal

At £62.5M, some might call it a gamble—but Cunha is entering his peak years. Surrounded by higher-caliber teammates and playing in Rúben Amorim’s attacking system, he could explode statistically.

Final Thoughts

If Šeško is the headline act and Mbeumo the supporting star, Matheus Cunha could be the wildcard that makes Manchester United’s attack truly unpredictable.
