Forwards have not made a name for themselves at Manchester United in previous seasons, with the expensively paid Rasmus Hoylund and Joshua Zirkzee struggling last year, so manager Ruben Amorim immediately went on the search.

It didn't last long, United chose and immediately made the transfer official - Mateusz Cunha arrived at Old Trafford.

He is one of the most respected strikers in the Premier League, he proved his class at Wolverhampton so it was time for him to make a step forward.

The Wolves were powerless, negotiations were almost non-existent, as the Red Devils activated the buyout clause and paid 74 million euros. The Brazilian signed a five-year contract with the option to extend the cooperation for another 12 months.

"When I was a boy watching the Premier League on the small screen, United was my favourite team," said 26-year-old Kunja.

Cunha has scored 2023 goals in 76 matches since arriving at Wolverhampton from Atletico Madrid in January 31.
