It is reported by a couple of British media websites that Manchester United are progressing towards the signing of Brazilian national Matheus Cunha. They have activated the £62.5 million clause in his contract with Wolves.

As they will not be participating in European football next season, the club is in the process of making the team stronger under the new boss Ruben Amorim.

Manchester United have their sights set on Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap and are ready to pay the player the £30 million stipulated in his release clause.

Of late, the U21 player is said to be drawing interest from Chelsea too.
