Manchester United have held positive contract talks to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha. Ruben Amorim and United executives are aligned on trying to bring Cunha to Old Trafford and they are taking the first steps in attempting to agree personal terms.

Manchester United have identified Matheus Cunha as a top target this summer - but it's a move that brings risk. The Wolves star brings Premier League pedigree, having scored 16 goals this season in a side that has spent much of the campaign battling against relegation, but could now finish above United in the table.

Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Cunha has been one of the Premier League's outstanding performers this season and has an $83.5 million release clause in his contract that can be activated in the summer. The Brazilian is expected to depart Molineux and has also been linked with a move to Arsenal and Chelsea.
