( thaisiambet ) Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville is backing Manchester United to sign Wolves striker Mateus Cunha this summer as he is a good fit for their 3-4-2-1 system. thaisiambet
Kunya 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 until June 2029 with a £62.5m release clause that United are prepared 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.”
