Matheus Cunha has spoken for the first time following his move from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Manchester United after the transfer was completed on Thursday.
The Brazilian forward, 26, who has signed a contract until June 2030, with the option of an additional year, says he will fulfil a childhood dream when he wears the famous red shirt.
“It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player," Cunha told the official club website.
"Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother’s house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt.

"I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality.
“I can’t wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my team-mates and prepare for the season ahead. All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top.”
