1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 13th News “Guardian” reporter Jamie Jackson posted a message talking about Manchester United’s signings.
Manchester United officially announced that it would sign Wolves striker Cunha for £62.5 million. The 26-year-old Brazil international signed a five-year contract, including one-year renewal option, with a weekly salary of about £150,000.
Cunha said: “It’s hard to say what it feels like to be a Manchester United player. When I was a child, I watched the Premier League at my grandmother’s house in Brazil. Manchester United is my favorite English team. Wearing the Red Devils’ jersey has always been my dream. Thanks to my family and everyone who helped me realize my dream. I can’t wait to meet my teammates in the preseason and prepare for the new season. Now my entire focus is to work hard to become an important member of the team and help the club return to the top.”
In addition, Manchester United clearly stated the position of Jason Wilcox as the football director in the official announcement, confirming that he has been promoted from technical director.
Wilcox said: “The introduction of Cunha is the primary goal this summer, and it is gratifying to be able to complete the signing in the early stages of the transfer window. During his time with Wolves, he has proved that he is one of the most threatening strikers in the Premier League, and has performed well in Spain and Germany before. He is fully in line with the qualities we need to build a strong, dynamic and capable team that can compete for the highest honors.”
After signing Cunha, Amorin also hopes to introduce Brentford winger Mbemo, but it is reported that the Bees have raised the price to £70 million. Portuguese sports center Yocres is another target, with the No. 9 player priced at about 70 million euros.
