Man United have decided on their next four signings after sealing £62.5m Matheus Cunha transfer

Man United formally announced the signing of Matheus Cunha on Thursday and now they are hungry for more new arrivals

Manchester United finalised their first signing of the summer on Thursday after announcing the arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

On June 1 United confirmed they had reached an agreement with their Premier League counterparts to sign the Brazilian international subject to a visa and registration.

United, just over 24 hours after announcing they had reached an agreement to sign Cunha, discovered Mbeumo had chosen Old Trafford as his preferred destination this summer. United made an opening offer for the Cameroonian last week, understood to be worth £55m, but it was rejected.

Nevertheless, discussions between United and the Bees have remained ongoing and the Old Trafford outfit are confident of making a breakthrough in negotiations in order to make Mbeumo their second signing of the summer.

United would like to get the deal wrapped up in time for the former Troyes man to report to Carrington for pre-season training at the start of July.

In addition to wanting Mbeumo, United remain hungry to sign a striker this summer. Liam Delap was United’s top target to bolster their No.9 options, but they were beaten to his signature by Chelsea, meaning they are now looking elsewhere for a goal-getter.

They have been linked with a collection of strikers in recent weeks, including Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen of Napoli. Gyokeres is keen to leave Sporting and Napoli want to sell Osimhen.

United are in desperate need of a proven goalscorer, meaning either Gyokeres or Osimhen would fit the bill. However, amid the fact they have signed Cunha for £62.5m and could end up paying around £60m for Mbeumo, outgoings will be required to fund the addition of a striker.
