What a Red Devil! It was revealed that Cunha chose Manchester United because he has always loved the team and not just pursued high salaries

The 26-year-old Brazilian striker has confirmed a £62.5 million move to Manchester United and is expected to secure a renewed labour licence after completing two World Cup matches for Brazil, officially completing a five-year deal with the Red Devils. At this point, Cunha realized his "child demon dream".

Manchester United are required to pay Wolves the full amount of £62.5 million in liquidated damages over three instalments over two years, with a maximum weekly salary of £200,000 to the player. It's a big deal, but considering that the Red Devils have fallen to 15th place in the Premier League in the recent season and don't even have any European qualification next season, which is not as good as Crystal Palace, it is already rare that a Premier League goalscorer like Cunha, who has scored 15 goals in a single season, is willing to join.

Following the announcement of Cunha's arrival, Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo, Mason Mount, Lenny Yoro and Lisandro Martinez all praised their moves. Manchester United have been keeping an eye on Cunha's performances since the opening game of the 2023/24 season, when he was outstanding for Wolves at Old Trafford, and the Reds narrowly won that game 1-0 thanks to a referee who missed a foul in the box by Andre Onana.

Although Cunha has been approached by other teams, such as Arsenal, the Brazilian striker eventually wanted to play for Manchester United, who he had supported since childhood. He believes Manchester United remain one of the biggest clubs in the world and have not changed their minds when Amorim's side lost 1-0 to Tottenham in the Europa League final and missed out on Champions League qualification.

A source told Sky Sports that Cunha does "loves United". This is said to have something to do with the fact that he watched Manchester United win the 2008 Champions League final as a child, and his idol was surprisingly the former "golden boy" Anderson. Fans will be hoping that Cunha will win as many titles as Anderson at the Theatre of Dreams, but will develop better on a personal basis than Anderson, who started high and went low and quickly sank and eventually had to retire early.

According to Sky Sports, Manchester United have been impressed by Cunha's desire to join the squad and appreciate his affection for the team. As many as five Premier League teams, including Manchester United, are said to be keen to sign the Brazil international this summer, including Arsenal and Aston Villa, with both in tentative talks with him. Saudi Arabian professional league clubs are also willing to trigger his liquidated damages clause. Cunha, on the other hand, was determined and always wanted nothing more than to join Manchester United.

Of course, United's £200,000-a-week salary must be attractive, otherwise it would be difficult to ask Cunha to simply "generate electricity for love" if other Champions League teams are treated better than the Red Devils. However, not every big-name star is now willing to go to the crisis-ridden Red Devils for a high salary, with the likes of Liam Trapp refusing, Djekereish probably not coming, and Osimhen asking for £400,000 a week......

United legend Gary Neville has been in favour of Cunha: 'Manchester United are desperate in the number 10 position, you look at what they are playing. Moreover, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony are all gone, taking away the ability to dribble the ball. Now the team only has Garnacho, which makes the left and right uneven. Zirkze, Fernandes and Mason Mount are not players who can dribble the ball either. Amorim needs a player who can break through, especially in the middle, and also know how to run and play for wing-backs. Cunha is the kind of player who fits Amorim's system, he can score goals, he's creative in the final third, he's very well-rounded."

According to the British media, Manchester United hope Cunha's example can serve as an example for other players, proving that the club is still attractive and paving the way for Amorim to bring in more new signings. Of course, there are two sides to everything, and the maverick Cunha is a good fit for United, but there are risks. His improvisational style of play, if he can't get in tune with the whole team, can be a hidden danger.

Whether Cunha will eventually become a successful Manchester United signing will only be known if he has actually played for it. But his willingness to join Manchester United in the darkest moments is enough to win the approval of Old Trafford fans!
