Ten Haag rejects ‘£60million star’ offer ‘in one fell swoop’
On May 5 (KST), the British Press Express reported that “Man United offered to double his wages to sign Mateusz Cunha (Wolverhampton). However, United have publicly rejected the offer.
United finished the 2023-2024 season in eighth place in the English Premier League (EPL) with 18 wins, 6 draws, and 14 losses (60 points) under Eric ten Haag. They were eliminated early from the European Champions League (UCL) and Carabao Cup. They saved their pride by beating “local rivals” 바카라사이트 Man City in the FA Cup final. They also managed to punch their ticket to Europe the following season. But even after winning the FA Cup, United faced a harsh reality. They were no longer a ‘dream club’.
As the Express explained, “United are looking for a striker to complement Rasmus Hoyle. Van Gaal insists that should be one of the club’s priorities. United have been targeting Cunha.

After a slow start to the season due to injury, he has done his job, scoring 10 goals in 30 EPL games. However, Ten Haag is not satisfied. “Ten Haag emphasized the need to add firepower to help Hojelun,” the Express reported. “We need to sign a striker to play alongside Hojlund. Then we can compete for fourth place. That’s the hope, that’s the reality.”

The Express cited another Mirror report that said, “United are ready to double his weekly wages for Cunha. However, Cunha is expected to reject the offer. Wolverhampton have set a £60 million price tag for Cunha’s transfer. Cunha told Brazilian media: “I want to stay as long as possible. 바카라사이트 추천 I am very happy at Wolverhampton. My focus at the moment is to rest with my family and make the most of that time. I’m really happy at Wolverhampton. I want to help the team,” he said.
The outlet added: ‘Cunha doesn’t seem interested in leaving Wolverhampton. United have no choice but to look elsewhere,” the outlet added.
