May 24th According to Sky Sports, Manchester United's loss in the UEFA Cup final will not affect Cunha's signing, and the players are still willing to join.

It is reported that Manchester United plans to trigger the 64 million pound termination clause in Cunha's contract, and the player himself is still willing to join. Although Manchester United fails to qualify for European competition next season, this will not affect their plans to sign Cunha.

It is understood that Manchester United intends to activate the £64 million termination clause in his contract, although there are concerns that Cunha may change his mind after losing to Tottenham in the Europa League final and missing the Champions League qualification. According to Sky Sports News, Cunha is still willing to join Manchester United and believes that Manchester United is one of the largest clubs in the world.

Manchester United is expected to activate the termination clause in his contract, and the club is also clear about the specific conditions of this clause. There is currently no direct contact between Manchester United and Wolves, but these formal procedures are expected to be held after the end of the season. Although other clubs are interested in Cunha, he himself hopes to play for Manchester United, and the deal has almost been reached.

Cunha believes that Manchester United is one of the largest clubs in the world, and he is currently in the Premier League (ranked 16th, two places lower than Wolves), but this will not affect his interest in joining Old Trafford.

A source told Sky Sports News that the 25-year-old "loves Manchester United". This summer, five Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, hope to sign Cunha, and Arsenal and Aston Villa have also had preliminary contact with him on transfer matters. Some clubs in the Saudi Professional League have also expressed their willingness to activate his contract terms.

Cunha joined Wolves from Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee of about £34 million in 2022, scoring 27 goals and contributing 13 assists in 63 Premier League games. So far this season, he has played in 35 games for Wolves, contributing 17 goals and 6 assists.
