Manchester United might have to alter their whole planning based on the result of the Europa League final but it might be possible that they secure two players before that.
One signing at Manchester United is already in the bag, or as good as done, with Enzo Kana-Biyik to Man Utd a “Here We Go” by Fabrizio Romano.
As exciting as he is, nobody is thinking that he’ll come into the first team next season straight away and blow away the opposition.
That will be more of an expectation from the second player they’re about to secure, with Romano saying United are inching closer to signing another player.
Matheus Cunha to Man Utd latest
Matheus Cunha’s Man Utd move picked up pace earlier than Kana-Biyik’s but the magnitude of the transfer would have always delayed it.
Neither Wolves nor Man Utd would have wanted a distraction while they finished their season so the reports were put on the back burner.
Fabrizio Romano has now given the latest on Cunha to Man Utd, allaying the fears of Man Utd fans who were worried due to lack of movement.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said United remain committed to the deal and positive talks are taking place between the club and the player’s camp.
He said: “Man Utd are in very positive talks with Matheus Cunha, very good conversations, discussing the details of the agreement with the player.
“Then they will be ready to meet Wolves and find a solution on the payment structure of the release clause. Man Utd want to go for Matheus Cunha. The conversation is ongoing. The exchange between Cunha and Man Utd remains absolutely positive.”
Cunha “Here We Go” could arrive after Europa League final
Romano makes it a point of saying that the negotiations are still ongoing between the club and the player, let alone any talks with Wolves.
That could be because United are reticent about committing to any financial figures before they know their fate next season.
Cunha would understandably demand a different contract from a club in the Champions League next season instead of one that isn’t.
Therefore, the Brazilian could very well be waiting to see the result of the final on May 21 before giving the go-ahead on one of the two potential contracts in front of him.
Expect rapid movement on this after May 21 as Man Utd attack the market with clarity over the next season.
