Manchester United prepare to move for £45m Atletico Madrid star Matheus Cunha in their search for a forward to revitalise Eric ten Hag's front line - and Brazilian WOULD be keen on a transfer

Manchester United are weighing up a £45million move for Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha.

The United board have been made aware that the Brazil international is willing to make the move despite only joining Atletico last summer and agreeing a five-year deal.

Atletico need to sell players this summer and had offered Alvaro Morata but 23-year-old Cunha fits the profile United would prefer.

No swap for Cristiano Ronaldo has been discussed at this stage with United maintaining the Portuguese remains part of their plans.
