Matheus Cunha had already told Ruben Amorim exactly what he wants prior to Man United transfer

Matheus Cunha has already made it clear he wants to compete for major honours which will be exactly what Ruben Amorim wants to hear after completing his move to Manchester United.

United announced Cunha's transfer to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, with the Brazilian signing a five-year contract, including an option for a further 12 months.

The statement reads: "Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian forward’s signing is subject to visa and registration.

"The 26 year-old has 13 senior caps for Brazil, and, in his club career, has made 270 appearances and scored 72 goals in the English, Spanish, German and Swiss top flights. During two-and-a-half seasons at Wolves, Cunha has scored 33 goals in 92 appearances. Everyone at Manchester United looks forward to welcoming Matheus to Old Trafford."

The attacker will join the Brazil national team for their World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay this month. However, he will be eager to hit the ground running when he returns to England.

In an interview with The Guardian, he revealed his reasoning to staying at Wolves despite interest from several clubs. Cunha then went on to lay out his ambitions, outlining his goals and determination to succeed at the highest level.

"I had a lot of offers but I wouldn’t feel well if I had done it," he said. "Some things you can’t control but I couldn’t leave the club in the middle of the season, in a difficult situation, in the relegation zone.

"Now, we’re close to achieving our goal [of staying up]. But I’ve made it clear that I need to take the next step. I want to fight for titles, for big things. I have potential."
