Man Utd Confident of Matheus Cunha Deal if Garnacho Departs
Manchester United are reportedly confident that Matheus Cunha will be open to joining them this summer, with the club prepared to make a move if Alejandro Garnacho leaves Old Trafford.
Cunha has been one of the Premier League’s standout performers this season, contributing to 16 goals for Wolves. With the club hovering just above the relegation zone, his future remains uncertain, though Wolves recently tied him down to a new contract, strengthening their position in any potential transfer negotiations.
According to GIVEMESPORT, United believe the Brazilian would be eager to sign for them regardless of Wolves’ fate. They are said to be ready to act swiftly once Garnacho’s future is resolved. The Argentine winger, who attracted interest from Chelsea and Napoli in January, is not being pushed out by United, but if he decides to leave, the club will prioritize a move for Cunha.
United’s attacking struggles this season have been well-documented, and with Wolves also relying heavily on Cunha for creativity, he could be the ideal solution for Erik ten Hag’s side. Reports suggest there are doubts over whether Garnacho fits into potential new manager Ruben Amorim’s system, whereas Cunha’s experience and playing style are seen as a better fit.
Competition for Cunha
United are not the only club eyeing Cunha. Arsenal and Aston Villa have also been linked with the Brazilian, while Nottingham Forest and Tottenham reportedly showed interest in January.
Wolves’ contract extension with Cunha likely includes a release clause, though its value remains unclear. If United pursue him in the summer, they may have to fend off competition from other top clubs, including Arsenal, who could hold an edge in negotiations.
Other Man Utd Transfer News
Meanwhile, Raphael Varane has weighed in on Marcus Rashford’s loan move to Aston Villa, calling it a “positive” step, despite initial shock over his decision to join a direct rival.
Antony, another United loanee, is reportedly using his Real Betis stint as motivation for “revenge,” according to his manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Additionally, United are keeping tabs on Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap and are reportedly closing in on a deal for Sporting CP winger Geovany Quenda, with a verbal agreement in place.
What Should Garnacho Do?
With his United future uncertain, Garnacho faces a key decision. Should he stay and fight for his place under a new system, or seek a fresh start elsewhere? His choice could set off a major shake-up at Old Trafford.
