Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Matheus Cunha.
United are near tying down the striker from Atletico Madrid as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his attacking options.
The Red Devils are excessively light in the attacking department and it appears that evidently Ten Hag could soon be afforded another body to choose from if the news currently emerging is anything to go by.
talkSPORT reports that United are close to signing the 23-year-old Brazilian.
Cunha would represent just the fourth signing of the Ten Hag generation in what many fans consider a failed and irritating summer transfer window.
As per talkSPORTt, United are set to part with €50m for Cunha’s services as he makes a switch from Spain to Old Trafford.
It is also crucial to note that any deal that would facilitate Cunha’s arrival at the Theatre of Dreams does not consist of Cristiano Ronaldo going the other way.
“It’s understood the deal for Matheus Cunha will not contain any swap for Cristiano Ronaldo.”
“Matheus Cunha is a target for Manchester United. He is on their shortlist for the forward position.”
“He still has four years left in his contract with Atletico Madrid, but would be keen to join United.”
It now seems that the deal is close to finishing touch and the 23-year-old could be the latest arrival as Ten Hag’s era on the 20-time English champions starts to take shape.
