Brazil forward Matheus Cunha has referred to his move to Manchester United as a ‘dream come true’ after completing his £62.5 million transfer.
Cunha, 26, joined the Red Devils on Thursday on an initial five-year deal, with the option of an additional twelve months.

“He has proved his ability to succeed in the Premier League as one of the most exciting and productive forwards in England during his time at Wolves, and, before that, in Spain and Germany. He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honours.”
Cunha’s ‘childhood dream’
“It is the most common phrase that you can say at this moment, but this is the dream come true,” Cunha stated after completing his move from Wolves.
“Maybe outside, I think maybe my decision, they don’t understand. But when you have always dreamed to play here, it’s easier to pick this decision.

For me, no-one else is like United. Of course, I know it’s been a hard season for everyone. I think my decision shows what this club is for me and what I believe this club can be”, the Brazilian star added.
“And, of course, I’ll do everything that I can to manage this inside of me, to play for my dream team and put my dream team to win.”
Will Cunha fit in at Man United?
Cunha’s playing style makes him a suitable fit for Ruben Amorim’s style, while his ability to deliver under pressure will also be important for the Red Devils.
The former Atletico Madrid forward is also experienced in playing in the Premier League, and his high-profile arrival from Wolves should transform into success at Old Trafford.
