Gary Neville is backing Manchester United to sign Wolves striker Matheus Cunha this summer as he is a good fit for their 3-4-2-1 system.
Cunha can play as either a centre forward or a winger and has scored 16 goals in all competitions this season, 14 of them in the Premier League.
The current deal runs เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา until June 2029 with a £62.5m release clause that United are prepare to pay.
In Neville’s view, it’s a good idea because if the Red Devils are willing to let Jadon Sancho, Antony and Marcus Rashford go, then someone else should be there to replace them.
“They are desperate for a player in that position (No.10 pair) and he looks good in a 3-4-2-1,” Neville said.
“Especially when the team released Jadon Sancho, Antony and Marcus Rashford, leaving Alejandro Garnacho for now, but it leaves the squad unbalanced.”
“United need someone who can win one-on-one situations, someone with Garnacho’s ability to dribble through from midfield.”
“They need to find a way to break the net for the team.”
Cunha has already signalled his intention to move from Molineux this summer. He came close to departing in January, but opted to remain to help their battle for survival. Now that is accomplish, he feels ready to make a step up in his career.
In addition to Cunha, another option for United is Sporting Lisbon ‘s Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres .
