Exclusive: Man United set sights on agreeing two forward signings

Man United are ready to sign an out-and-out striker as well as Wolves star Matheus Cunha, sources have told Football Insider.

The Red Devils have set their sights on a stunning double deal as they look to transform their faltering attack this summer.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (28 April) that Man United will play Cunha, 25, in the number ten role if they seal a deal for the Wolves star.

Meanwhile, United are ready to upgrade on disappointing striker duo Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in the off-season.

Man United want striker after Cunha deal

Money is tight at Old Trafford following their recent slump but it is believed a new forward is the priority for Ruben Amorim and his transfer chiefs.

Bruno Fernandes is Man United’s top goalscorer this term with 17 strikes across all competitions.

Cunha has hit 15 Premier League goals this season but will play in a wide role under Amorim, who has struggled to implement his style since succeeding Erik ten Hag.

Man United sit 14th in the top flight but can boost their summer transfer kitty by winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League next term.

Two goalkeepers set to quit Man United

Meanwhile, Football Insider revealed on 21 April that Man United goalkeeper duo Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are expected to leave the club this summer.

Andre Onana, 29, has been linked with a potential United exit – but sources say it is unlikely they will want to allow three goalkeepers to leave in one window.

Bayindir, 27, is ready to quit Old Trafford after becoming unhappy with his lack of first-team opportunities – while Heaton is out of contract.
