United had hoped to negotiate a different deal with Wolves, but the two parties were unable to come to an agreement. As a result, the club has decided to pay the full release clause as stated in Cunha's contract.

The 26-year-old Brazilian forward has been given permission to travel to Manchester for a medical ahead of completing his transfer. This is a significant development, considering Cunha's impressive performance last season, where he scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 36 games.

Cunha's departure from Wolves is part of a busy summer for the club, which is expected to see several players leave and new ones join the team. The club is looking to rebuild and improve after a disappointing season.
