Manchester United could receive double transfer windfall after another deal agreed - Manchester Evening News

GREATER MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, JUL 8 – Matheus Cunha joins Manchester United on a five-year deal for £62.5 million, taking the No. 10 shirt as Marcus Rashford seeks a transfer for Champions League football.

  • On July 8, 2025, Manchester United announced that their latest signing, Matheus Cunha, will take over the No. 10 jersey, a number that had been assigned to Marcus Rashford since 2018.
  • Manchester United activated Matheus Cunha's £62.5 million release clause at Wolves and agreed to settle the fee in a schedule of three payments spread across two years, after initially proposing to distribute the amount over five instalments.
  • Cunha, 26, scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 34 appearances last season at Wolves and is expected to start quickly at United amid summer transfer activity.
  • Last summer, Manchester United transferred Alvaro Carreras to Benfica and Anthony Elanga to Nottingham Forest, potentially earning approximately £16.6 million from these transactions, while several key players are looking to secure moves this summer.
  • With Cunha as the only confirmed signing so far and no Champions League football, United faces squad changes and recruitment challenges under Ruben Amorim's first full season.
