Footage of Man Utd target Matheus Cunha outside Old Trafford goes viral after Fabrizio Romano issues huge update

A video of Matheus Cunha outside Old Trafford has gone viral as Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the Wolves striker's links to Manchester United.

On Sunday afternoon, Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a shock 1-0 win over United at Old Trafford just days after the Red Devils dramatically secured a spot in the Europa League semi-finals.

Although both sides are safe from relegation this season and therefore the result won't have a massive impact on their seasons, it did put Wolves level on points with United but behind on goal difference, with the clubs 14th and 15th in the table.

Perhaps the biggest talking point from the match centred around Wolves star Cunha, who was spotted speaking with United fans after the game, amid reports he could join the club this summer.

During the mid-season transfer window, it appeared to be likely that Cunha would be leaving Wolves off the back of his impressive start to the season, with clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea linked with a move.

However, the Brazilian ultimately decided to stay and sign a new deal, a decision he appears to regret given that he has since been outspoken about wanting to leave Wolves this summer.

With current strikers Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund continuing to disappoint, United have emerged as the favourites to sign Cunha this summer, and footage of his post-match on Sunday appears to show that he's eager to make the move.

The viral clip shows the striker, who has scored 14 goals in 28 Premier League appearances this season, taking photos and speaking with United fans who are begging him to come to Old Trafford in the summer.

Fabrizio Romano drops update on Matheus Cunha's links with United

When the transfer window opens in June, it is likely that several clubs both from within the Premier League and abroad will look to make a move for Cunha.

But, a new update from transfer expert Romano has revealed that United remain the frontrunners to secure to 25-year-old's signature after talks both with Wolves and Cunha, who has a £62.5million release clause included in his current contract.

Posting on X, Romano revealed: "Manchester United are leading the race to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves as negotiations are ongoing.

"Personal terms are being discussed, as Man Utd are aware of more clubs keen + £62.5m release clause available.

"Good feelings after initial contacts between Cunha and #MUFC."
