Manchester United’s latest signing, Matheus Cunha, arrives at Old Trafford with a mix of swagger, bite, and much-needed attacking directness - something the team has been sorely lacking.Cunha is

Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian forward’s signing is subject to visa and registration. The 26 year-old has 13 senior caps for Brazil, and, in his club career, has made 270 appearances and scored 72 goals in the English, Spanish, German and Swiss top flights.

In that regard, United’s move for Matheus Cunha — after meeting the release clause of £62.5million ($84.4m) in his Wolves contract — is an encouraging flicker of life. The 26-year-old was one of the division’s standout performers last campaign, with his 15 goals and six assists accounting for well over a third of his team’s goal returns.
