Brazil forward, Matheus Cunha is excited to have completed his £62.5m move to Manchester United from Wolves.
Man Utd announced on 1 June that the club had agreed a £62.5m transfer with Wolves for Cunha who had scored 33 goals in 92 appearances for the Old Gold, although the Brazil forward didn’t contribute any quotes to the official announcement due to being on international duty at the time.
The 26-year-old has since returned from international duty for Brazil and has issued his first official statement as an Utd player, in which he spoke of his pride at joining his favourite English club.
“It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player.
“Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother’s house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality.
“I can’t wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my team-mates and prepare for the season ahead. All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top.”
Utd’s Director of Football, Jason Wilcox added: “Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window.
“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.”
