Furthermore, Cunha was in Manchester over the weekend to complete his move, which is subject to a visa and registration. Cunha, who has won 13 caps for Brazil, scored 18 goals in all competitions for Wolves this season, winning the club’s player of the year award.

Manchester United activated the release clause in Cunha’s Wolves contract to ensure he becomes boss Ruben Amorim’s first signing of the summer transfer window.

Amorim’s side lost the Europa League final against Tottenham to cap a dismal season featuring a 15th-place finish in the Premier League that ranked as their lowest final position since 1973-74.
