The Red Devils near an agreement with a Premier League attacker, but they also maintain contact with the agent of a Bundesliga striker, who is also on Arsenal's radar. Join us for the round-up of some of the juiciest transfer gossip this Tuesday.
Man Utd close to Cunha agreement
Wolverhampton Wanderers handed Manchester United their 15th defeat of the Premier League season over the weekend. But the Red Devils could now deal them a blow away from the field.
According to the Daily Mail, United are nearing an agreement with Matheus Cunha. The 25-year-old looks to have been swayed by the prospect of playing a key role under Ruben Amorim and it seems lack of Champions League football would not influence his decision at the end of the season. Still, the Mancunians will need to activate his £62.5million release clause to get the deal over the line. Whispers Rating: 3.5/5
