£42m 'irresistible' Wolves ace set for Man Utd audition, could be game-changing January signing for Amorim - view

Manchester United are gearing up for a thrilling Boxing Day showdown against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a high-stakes Premier League clash.

United manager Ruben Amorim will be eager to steer his side back to winning ways following a demoralising 3-0 loss to Bournemouth on Sunday.

Amorim will also have a special focus on the performance of Wolves star Matheus Cunha.

The Brazilian ace has been linked with a move to Old Trafford over the last two years. However, United never made a formal approach for him.

The Red Devils must make a bold move to secure Cunha next month. He has been in ‘irresistible form‘, bagging nine goals and three assists in 17 league appearances this season.

Cunha has continued to shine despite Wolves’ poor performances, which speaks volumes about his strong character.

The £42 million-rated star could be an excellent fit for Amorim’s 3-4-3 system.

Wolves have switched to a similar formation in recent games, and Cunha has flourished in the left-sided number ten role.

He would also provide a valuable rotational option for the centre-forward position.

Amorim needs an elite ball carrier on the left flank, a role Amad Diallo is fulfilling on the opposite side.

Cunha possesses the perfect blend of pace and ball control to thrive in this role.

With his strong physique and tenacity in duels, he would bring a powerful and dynamic presence to the attack.

Wolves won’t let him leave cheaply in the middle of the season. However, agents play a huge role in determining a player’s next move.

INEOS must do everything in their power to land Cunha. His signing could prove to be a game-changer for United.
