Reports suggest that Manchester United is nearing a deal for Brazilian Matheus Cunha, the Wolverhampton striker, during the upcoming summer transfer window, despite Arsenal's interest in acquiring him.

According to the 'CaughtOffside' website, Manchester United has had positive discussions with the player's representatives and feels very confident in its ability to finalize the deal. It is said that Cunha prefers a move to Old Trafford, viewing it as a significant step up in his career.

Cunha is having a standout season with Wolverhampton, having scored 17 goals and provided 6 assists, which has attracted the attention of top Premier League clubs. The 25-year-old player is known for his ability to play in multiple attacking positions, making him an ideal choice for the Red Devils, who have struggled offensively this season despite having Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.

On the other hand, Arsenal is also looking to strengthen its attack, given the decline in form of duo Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, and hopes that Cunha will be a strong addition alongside Saka and Martinelli.

As negotiations continue, Cunha's final destination remains to be seen, but indications currently favor Manchester United.
