How Man United's deal for Matheus Cunha warped the transfer market

On June 2, 2025, Manchester United announced an agreement for the £62.5 million signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha. United activated his release clause, agreed to pay the sum in three installments and, 10 days later, the Brazil international was presented in his new shirt.

Despite being one of the first transfers to go through this summer, this was no hurried deal based on the Club World Cup, as United weren't competing in that competition; they just used the new, early transfer window to get a head start on fixing last season's dismal 15th-place finish.
