Matheus Cunha has been pictured leaving a luxury Manchester hotel as he closes in on a £62.5million move to Manchester United.

After a dismal campaign that saw Ruben Amorim record United's worst-ever Premier League finish in his maiden season in England, the club have wasted little time in identifying areas to strengthen in the transfer window. 

With goals proving hard to come by for the club's forward line, Brazil international Cunha was immediately earmarked as a top target.

The 26-year-old netted 15 Premier League goals in 33 appearances for Wolves last season.

Negotiations have been ongoing over recent days, with United agreeing to pay his £62.5m release in three instalments over the next two years.

And it appears that the highly-anticipated transfer is edging closer to completion as Cunha was spotted leaving the Lowry Hotel, a short drive from the club's Carrington training complex. 

Cunha could be see wearing a white t-shirt and black Los Angeles baseball cap as he was flanked by his wife Gabriela, and their young son.

Gabriela, who tied the knot with Cunha at a ceremony in his native Brazil last summer, was visibly pregnant as she led their son towards the waiting car.

Cunha's impending arrival is expected to provide Amorim with a significant boost, particularly after United's post-season tour of Malaysia was marred by multiple controversies.
