Arteta Faces Blow as Manchester United Target Matheus Cunha
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could be left disappointed as Manchester United emerge as strong contenders to sign Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian attacker has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, but United appear to be leading the race.
Cunha, who has been a standout performer for Wolves, has a release clause of Β£62.5 million in his contract. His pace, technical ability, and versatility across the front line have made him a highly sought-after player. United, looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season, see Cunha as a key addition to their squad.
Arsenal, who have also been monitoring Cunha closely, might now miss out on one of their key transfer targets. Mikel Arteta is reportedly a fan of the 24-year-old and sees him as a potential game-changer for the Gunnersβ frontline. However, with United pushing hard and willing to trigger his release clause, Arsenal could be forced to shift their focus elsewhere.
Nottingham Forest are also in the mix, but their chances of securing Cunhaβs signature remain slim compared to the pulling power and financial might of Manchester United.
