United have officially announced the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

United triggered the £62.5million release clause in Cunha’s contract at Molineux, and the forward has signed a five-year contract, with the option of another 12 months.

The deal was announced on the opening day of the summer transfer window but the players’ visa and registration still needed to be completed. That has now been confirmed.

Reacting to his move, Cunha said: “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.”

Cunha scored 17 goals and tallied six assists in a struggling Wolves side last season.

He was named the man of the match in both of Wolves’ Premier League wins against United, scoring direct from a corner at Molineux.
