Manchester United leads the Paper Round on Tuesday, as Ruben Amorim's team is close to completing a deal for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. United is one of the Premier League clubs to have learned Viktor Gyokeres' release clause this summer. United is also following Franco Mastantuono of River Plate. After Leicester's relegation, there is also talk of Jamie Vardy leaving. According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United and Wolves forward Matheus Cunha are getting closer to a deal. Despite interest from other teams, Cunha is said to favor a move to Old Trafford. The Brazilian's £62.5 million release clause must be activated by United, but they expect to reach an agreement by the end of the month. Cunha's main rivals were Newcastle United, who wanted to use him on the left side of the attack. However, the 25-year-old appears to have been swayed by the possibility of being a key part of Ruben Amorim's squad overhaul. Amorim has made it clear that he admires Cunha, praising his versatility and ability to score goals. After the match between United and Wolves at Molineux, the United manager was also observed conversing with Cunha in the tunnel at Old Trafford on Sunday. "United also hope to acquire Liam Delap from Ipswich Town, but they face increasing competition as Chelsea and others consider activating his £30 million release clause. "Due to PSR, Amorim's finances are at a premium, and further recruitment plans will depend on sales and their ability to qualify for Europe." According to The Sun, United could also make a move for Franco Mastantuono, who is valued at £38 million and has been dubbed "the Argentine Phil Foden." The 17-year-old River Plate player could be part of United's summer reshuffle, but the promising teenager is also wanted by Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan. "When Mastantuono scored in an Argentinian Cup victory over Excursionistas in February 2024, at just 16 years and five months, he became the club's youngest scorer, surpassing the previous record held by Javier Saviola. He is the latest player to come off the astonishing River Plate production line. "Since then, he has scored five more goals, the most impressive of which came in last week's victory over Gimnasia when he picked up the ball on the right and exploded inside, leaving three defenders helpless before scoring with his preferred left foot in the bottom corner. "There have been comparisons to Foden made with that style of play, starting on the right."
