Wolves forward Matheus Cunha set to join Manchester United at end of season-Reports

Story highlights

In the current season for Wolves, Cunha has been in sensational form, scoring 17 goals and providing six assists in 34 games so far

Manchester United's 2024-25 season is clouded with inconsistency, frustration and they are on course for their worst season ever, when it comes to Premier League. United’s campaign is tainted with faltering performances, criticism by football experts and questions over tactics by the team management that has left the supporters of the club disappointed week in, week out.

The Manchester United attack has been struggling to score goals effectively, leading to poor results. While the team has taken a significant number of shots, their shot conversion rate is low, meaning they often fail to capitalise on their chances.

The Red Devils lack an experienced attacker, someone who can take charge of the situation and act as a leader. Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, Alejandro Garnacho have been struggling to find the back of the net throughout the season.
